De Lange Starts in Goal for OM at Nantes — Nantes Vs Marseille

Geronimo Rulli is out and De Lange starts in goal for Marseille in nantes vs marseille on Saturday at 15h. The change lands in the 32nd round of Ligue 1, with OM sixth and four points behind the podium, while Nantes sit 17th and five points from Auxerre, the relegation playoff team.

OM Lineup With De Lange

Habib Beye set Marseille in a 4-2-3-1, with De Lange behind Nnadi, Balerdi, Medina and Emerson. Vermeeren and Hojbjerg anchor midfield, while Greenwood, Timber and Traoré line up behind Aubameyang.

That shape puts Aubameyang at the top of the attack from the start. For OM, the detail that changes most is in goal: Rulli is absent because of injury, so De Lange gets the assignment at a point in the season when Marseille have only one win in their last five matches.

Nantes Answer With Carlgren

Nantes also changed their keeper, with Carlgren replacing Anthony Lopes because of a thumb injury. Their XI is Carlgren, Guilbert, Awaziem, Cozza, Machado, Sissoko, Lepenant, Kaba, Abline, Cabella and Ganago.

Abline starts for Nantes as they try to hold their place away from danger. The hosts come into the match in 17th, a position that makes every point matter against a Marseille side still chasing the Champions League spots.

Saturday At 15h

The immediate read is simple: OM need a result, and the goalkeeper switch adds pressure to a team already carrying a thin recent run. Nantes arrive with their own change in goal, so both sides walk into the 32nd-day fixture with new faces in a position where one mistake can swing the afternoon.

For readers following the match, the practical update is the lineup itself. Marseille will line up with De Lange, Nnadi, Balerdi, Medina, Emerson, Vermeeren, Hojbjerg, Greenwood, Timber, Traoré and Aubameyang, while Nantes go with Carlgren, Guilbert, Awaziem, Cozza, Machado, Sissoko, Lepenant, Kaba, Abline, Cabella and Ganago.
