He will receive the disqualified Apollon at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille, France. The match starts at 03:55 CET.The teams are in Group H, who have Eintracht Frankfurt with 15 points and Lazio with nine points, who will face the same time in Italy just to meet the table, since there is no possibility of even change position.The duel on French soil puts the third place in play, which is in the hands of the Cypriots, who have four points earned. The owners of the house, with a point, can still get there, although in practice this does not mean anything, since there are no prizes for consolation.
Olympique Marseille
The performance of Olympique de Marseille, current runner-up of the Europa League, can certainly be classified as shameful. The team made only five goals in the games they played and had their defense leaked 13 times. On Matchday 5, when he was eliminated, he was thrashed by Eintracht Frankfurt, Germany, 4-0.The only point won was just before Apollon with a 2-2 draw in Cyprus. In this way, Thursday’s match opens the door for the team to avoid ending the dispute in the flashlight of their key.As did his match of the French Championship weekend round, day 17, postponed, coach Rudi Garcia has no reason to preserve athletes. With no concussion or suspension issues, the main team is expected to escalate.Not that this is synonymous with success. Even in Ligue 1 Olympique has been rocking a lot. In the sixteenth round, as a visitor, the Marseille team was beaten 3-2 by Nantes. Staying in the 26 points (eight wins, two draws and six losses), it was out of the zone of classification for European tournaments through the Championship French. It’s the fifth place.
Apollon
The Apollon had their commitment for the Cypriot Championship on Saturday, 8 December. As a visitor, he defeated Paralimni 2-0. It was the recovery after the defeat suffered the previous day when it took 5 to 1 of Apoel. He has 25 points (eight wins, one draw and two losses).Follow the title fight. It’s the third place. It has three points less than the AEL Limassol, leader, and one of disadvantage in comparison with the Apoel, placed second. However, the two rivals made one more match.As he has a duel with AEK Larnaca, fourth placed with 19 points, for Monday, December 17, it is quite possible that coach Sofronis Avgousti does not put the team that has the disposition for the match in France. It is not worth the risk of exposing a limited cast in both number and quality at stake that is practically a friendly one.In addition, it also faces constraints imposed by bruising. Midfielder Kevin Bru, Mustapha Carayol and Hector Yuste are in the care of the medical department and should not be available for this Thursday’s match in Marseille.
