A first match at the 3rd place of the last championship. After a hectic off-season with the recruitment of coach Roberto De Zerbi, as well as the arrivals of Mason Greenwood and Elye Wahi in attack and the departure of its top scorer, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, OM will face Stade Brestois on Saturday 17 August (5 p.m.). The Olympians, who are aiming for a return to the Champions League next season, will have to start their championship better than last season, which ended in 8th place.

Facing them, the Brestois, who will be discovering the C1 this season, have lost a few players this summer. Their striker, Steve Mounié, left for Augsburg, in Germany, while Lilian Brassier has joined today’s opponent. Third last season, Eric Roy’s men will be keen to confirm in this new exercise. During the last clash between these two teams, it was the Bretons who won (1-0), also at the Francis-Le Blé stadium, on February 18.
