OM in search of a first victory in Gironde in 45 years … Follow the match of the 20th day of Ligue 1

It is a great classic of the French Championship. The summit of French football in the 1980s, the match between Bordeaux and Marseille, Friday January 7 (9 p.m.), is of particular importance. OM have in fact not won in Gironde since October 1, 1977, and will try to stop this shortage. Circumstances have probably never been so favorable for the Marseillais, 3rd in the standings, because Bordeaux (17th with one point ahead of the red zone), is adrift this season.

To make matters worse, the Girondins are facing a major outbreak of Covid-19. 21 players have been infected in three weeks and, if all are no longer positive, concerns remain about their state of form. The Scapular club thus requested, in vain, the postponement of the meeting.

The Navy and White have thus aligned an experimental team in Brest in the Coupe de France on Sunday and have been corrected (3-0). Can OM take advantage of it? The Marseillais do not display constant performances, but have been unbeaten in Ligue 1 away for three months. This match, played behind closed doors, is an opportunity to stop a hellish series to continue another, positive this time.
