Olympique de Marseille and Athletic Club meet at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille on Sunday, in one of the final tests of pre-season. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. CEST, with both teams looking to sharpen up ahead of their respective domestic campaigns.

With Marseille beginning their Ligue 1 campaign on August 21 and Athletic Club starting their La Liga season on August 22, this is effectively the final stretch of preparation for both sides. The friendly should offer one more chance to test combinations, build match fitness and assess players.
