Two of France’s big hitters square off in the capital on the weekend, as Christophe Galtier’s Paris Saint-Germain entertain Igor Tudor’s Marseille at the Parc des Princes in Ligue 1.
The Parisians are top of the table with 26 points to their name, with the away team just three points behind in third.
This promises to be a fascinating French top-flight fixture, and we hunt down the latest Ligue 1 odds and give you our PSG vs Marseille prediction.
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Marseille
Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille are two of the biggest clubs in French soccer. PSG are the reigning champions after winning the title by a whopping 15 points last season. Marseille took second and secured UEFA Champions League soccer.
Parc des Princes this Weekend
These two often put on a show when they go head-to-head, and we are expecting more fireworks at the Parc des Princes this weekend.
A home victory will see Paris open a six-point gap, but a win for the Olympians will move them level on points with PSG in the table after 11 games.
Naturally, Galtier’s troops are the favorites to get the win on their own patch, but Marseille are more than capable of causing an upset in the French capital. Read on for our PSG vs Marseille prediction.
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Marseille Last Game
Paris Saint-Germain edged it when these two last squared off. Neymar gave the Red and Blues an early lead, but the Phocaeans were level on the half-hour mark.
A Kylian Mbappe penalty on the stroke of halftime won the points for PSG. Last term’s reverse fixture in October 2021 finished in a goalless draw at the Stade Velodrome.
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Marseille Analysis
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain cruised their way to the Ligue 1 title last season, and retaining the championship is a priority for the Parisians this time around. They lead the way after ten games played, winning eight and drawing two.
Paris are unbeaten in all competitions this season. They have won 11 and drawn four of their opening 15 league and cup matches.
PSG Drawn
However, since a 2-1 league win over Nice earlier this month, PSG have drawn three on the bounce. They have drawn twice with Benfica in the Champions League and were held to a 0-0 draw at Reims in Ligue 1.
Paris will be looking to get back to winning ways on the weekend. They are usually a formidable force on home turf, and the French champions have won four and drawn two of their opening six at the Parc des Princes. Will the hosts pick up a crucial three points in front of their home fans this Sunday?
Marseille
PSG romped to the league title last term, but Marseille were the best of the rest in France’s top-flight. The Olympians picked up 21 wins, suffered nine losses and drew eight of their 38 league games.
They have made a strong start to this season, sitting third in the current Ligue 1 standings with 23 points to their name.
Ligue 1 Schedule
Tudor’s troops have won seven of their opening ten fixtures on their Ligue 1 schedule, drawing two and losing one of the other three.
They kicked off the season with seven wins and two draws from nine, but they lost at home to Ajaccio last time out in the league.
The Phocaeans did bounce back from last weekend’s surprise home reverse by beating Sporting Lisbon 2-0 away from home in the Champions League. Can they follow that up with a positive result in Paris?
