Six Ghana internationals are expected to be handed playing times when the French Ligue 1 gets underway on Saturday. GHANAsoccernet.com previews some of the matches which will be of interest to Ghanaians this weekend. MARSEILLE VS SOCHAUX The Ayew brothers kick start their Ligue 1 season with a tricky game against Sochaux at the Stade Velodrome. Andre, 21, who returned to Marseille training on Wednesday after sustaining a slight injury, is a sure starter. But 19-year-old Jordan, who signed a new contract for Didier Deschamps� men, is likely to start from the bench. The Ayew brothers have been explosive in pre-season with the two scoring a total of five goals. Victory over Sochaux could prove how Marseille are prepared to put in a challenge for the title they relinquished last season. In Sochaux�s recent visits, Marseille have won nine and lost three. BREST VS EVIAN THONON GAILLARD Elsewhere at the Stade Francis-Le Bl�, newly promoted Evian Thonon Gaillard will make their historic Ligue debut against Brest. Ghana defender Jonathan Mensah is available for selection but the club�s President Patrick Trotignon is worried about the team�s central defence. �We lack a central defender. That is more problematic and harmful because it takes time to find our rhythm. It has disrupted our preparation.� Box-to-box midfielder Rabiu Mohammed could start from the bench. Evian have added some bite to their attack with the acquisition of Sidney Govou but they will struggle for a point in the game. DIJON VS STADE RENNES Defender John Boye would seek to improve his statistic with Rennes as they engage promoted Dijon at the Stade Gaston G�rard on Sunday. The former Kpando Heart of Lions defender broke through the Rennes first team last season and made eight appearances for Fr�d�ric Antonetti�s men. He however watched both legs of their Uefa Europa Cup triumph over Georgian side fc FC Metalurgi Rustavi. Rennes could have the better of Dijon but a starting role for Boye cannot be confirmed. NICE VS LYON Ghana captain John Mensah will seek to relaunch his Olympique Lyon career with a visit to OG Nice. Mensah is returning to the Stade Gerland after a double loan spell at English side Sunderland. The centre-back was impressive in pre-season games for Les Gones and could be handed a starting role as Remi Garde�s side seek to make a winning start.
