Overview
- With matchday six set for Anderlecht’s Lotto Park, both sides seek points that could secure a place in the competition’s top 24.
- Union coach David Hubert praised Roberto De Zerbi’s ideas and OM’s “exceptional” talent, while saying his team has identified weaknesses to target.
- Roberto De Zerbi called the defeat at Lille perhaps Marseille’s worst under him and said he expects a reaction, as Arthur Vermeeren admitted the last performance cannot happen again.
- Hubert highlighted 20-year-old Arthur Vermeeren’s intelligence and room to grow; the RB Leipzig loanee has started three of OM’s five Champions League matches.
- Union are hosting at Lotto Park due to Joseph-Marien’s lack of UEFA homologation after heavy losses there to Newcastle and Inter, as goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen underlined that reaching the top 24 is their season’s main objective.
