Preview, Team News, and Marseille vs Strasbourg Lineups
Marseille
The home side recently suffered a humiliating defeat in the quarterfinals of the French Cup to lowly Annecy which is probably the biggest disappointment of their season. However, they bounced back by defeating Rennes in Ligue 1 last week which gave them a four-point advantage in the second place of the league standings in front of the chasing pack of Monaco and Lens. Marseille has only Samuel Gigot unavailable for the tie.
Predicted lineup: Lopez, Mbemba, Balerdi, Kolasinac, Clauss, Rongier, Veretout, Tavares, Under, Guendouzi, Sanchez.
Strasbourg
There are all sorts of problems for Strasbourg ahead of their visit to Marseille. They lost six out of eleven matches since the second part of the season started, and out of those five games they didn't lose, two were draws. Strasbourg also has problems playing in away matches failing to win in six out of their last seven encounters. To make things worse for the visiting team, there are several injury problems for coach Frederic Antonetti: Maxime Le Marchand, Alexander Djiku, Morgan Sanson, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, and Eiji Kawashima are out, and Ismael Doukoure will not play because of suspension.
Predicted lineup: Sels, Delaine, Nyamsi, Perrin, Sobol, Lienard, Sissoko, Aholou, Guilbert, Diallo, Gameiro.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean has been a go-to goal-getter for Marseille this season scoring nine goals with a single assist to his name. Sanchez is in the middle of an incredible streak of 48 matches without his team losing a game if he scores. So, the home side better hopes he gets on the scoresheet once again.
