"Marseille will head into the UEFA Champions League game against Ajax on Tuesday evening on the back of a 2-1 victory over Strasbourg away from home in Ligue 1. It came after a 1-0 win against defending French champions Paris Saint-Germain in the league, which followed a 2-1 loss at the hands of Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the UEFA Champions League."
"Marseille are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Ajax. Geronimo Rulli will be in goal for the home team and will have Michael Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Nayef Aguerd and Facundo Medina in front of him in defence. Matt O'Riley and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will be the two holding midfielders. Igor Paixao, Angel Gomes and Timothy Weah will be the three attacking midfielders. Amine Gouiri will lead the line for Marseille."
The UEFA Champions League match between Marseille and Ajax will kick off at 8pm UK time on Tuesday at the Orange Velodrome. Marseille finished second in Ligue 1 in 2024-25 under Roberto De Zerbi and aim to win the French title this season. Marseille have won their last three league games and sit third, three points behind PSG and Lyon, arriving after a 2-1 win at Strasbourg and a 1-0 victory over PSG, following a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid. A likely 4-2-3-1 lineup features Geronimo Rulli in goal and Amine Gouiri leading the attack. Ajax finished second domestically last season but have not started strongly under John Heitinga.
