OM are struggling to fill up the Vélodrome for the reception at Auxerre on Friday evening. 9,200 seats would still be on sale a few days before the match.
Friday evening, OM host Auxerre at the Vélodrome in a context that remains tense. According to Provence, 9,200 places still remain for sale a few days before the match, an unusual figure for the Marseille stadium.
The Olympian management would try to put these figures into perspective. The club would have explained to the regional daily that the matches scheduled for Friday evening traditionally encounter more difficulties in filling the Marseille enclosure.
Supporters’ anger persists
But this explanation does not hide the ambient unease. Some Marseille supporters have still not digested the elimination on penalties against Toulouse in the Coupe de France. After unfurling a banner “You are shit” at the Stadium last Saturday, the groups would prepare new virulent messages for Friday.
The Olympians, who recovered 3e place, remain on two consecutive successes in Ligue 1. The match against AJA remains decisive for the race for the podium.
