Beye Plans Three OM Surprises For Le Havre Vs Marseille

Habib Beye is expected to go with an unusual Olympique de Marseille starting XI for le havre vs marseille on Sunday night, with kickoff set for 21:00 in Normandy. Marseille arrive after a 0-3 loss at Nantes and need a response in their last away match of the season.

De Lange Keeps His Place

De Lange is expected to stay in goal after what Marseille saw as the only satisfaction at Nantes. Behind him, the projected back line features Benjamin Pavard, Leonardo Balerdi, Facundo Medina and Tim Weah, a mix that suggests Beye is leaning on experience but not in a predictable way.

The bigger shifts are further up the field. Q. Timber and Paixão are expected to start, while Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg and Balerdi remain in contention for places in a team that is being watched closely after a flat 0-3 defeat. The selection points to a coach still weighing senior names against less-expected options.

Beye Under Pressure In Normandy

Beye’s irritation has shown several times in tense training sessions this week, and that edge has carried into the build-up. Marseille can no longer reach the Champions League, but European qualification is still at stake, so Sunday’s XI will say plenty about how aggressively he wants to close the season.

That is why the expected lineup is drawing more attention than a routine away trip. Greenwood, Höjbjerg, Pavard and Balerdi are all in the frame, yet the likely XI also includes three players who fit the surprise label more neatly than the usual senior core.

Marseille’s Expected XI

The projected Marseille side is De Lange; Pavard, Balerdi, Medina, Weah; Q. Timber, Höjbjerg, Emerson; Greenwood, Gouiri and Paixão. If Beye sticks with that group, Marseille will be asking a goalkeeper who held his place after Nantes to steady a side that needs points and a cleaner ending away from home.
