Contrasting form before the Classique

Marseille arrive after a difficult run of results. They have lost their past three Ligue 1 matches, going down 2-0 to Monaco, 3-2 against Paris FC and 1-0 at Rennes. Their problems continued in Europe, where they suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat by Besiktas in the Europa League.

PSG, by contrast, have won their past two matches. They defeated Brest 1-0 before securing a 6-1 victory against Slovan Bratislava. Those results followed a 2-1 defeat by Monaco, leaving the reigning French champions with the stronger momentum before the trip south.

Marseille will hope home advantage and the atmosphere at the Velodrome can help them respond to their recent setbacks. PSG are expected to rely on their technical control as they look to extend their recent dominance in the fixture.

The pre-match prediction is for a closely contested game, although PSG are considered the more likely winners. Africafoot’s forecast is a 3-2 victory for Paris Saint-Germain.

The published betting odds list Marseille at 6.75 to win, 5.60 for a draw and 1.35 for a PSG victory.
