The highly anticipated Clasico between Olympique de Marseille (OM) and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to be the highlight of the 9th day of Ligue 1 tomorrow, Sunday evening. The Vélodrome will be the center of attention as Marseille hosts Paris for the day’s pivotal clash.
Despite PSG’s recent dominant performance with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League on Wednesday, Marseille is gearing up to face the challenge. PSG boasts an impressive streak of 25 matches without defeat, and the residents of Île-de-France are determined to maintain their positive momentum against OM.
Marseille, currently third in Ligue 1 with just one point behind PSG, faces a different scenario in the Champions League with two consecutive defeats in two matches. While Paris is considered the favorite, Togolese international Alaixys Romao expressed confidence in Marseille’s abilities in an interview with L’Equipe 21.
“OM is not meant to be afraid. PSG are favorites, it’s obvious, the balance of power is in their favor. But we have our weapons. We will do everything to beat the odds and please the supporters,” affirmed Romao.
As the football world awaits this intense showdown, the determination of both teams sets the stage for a thrilling encounter at the Vélodrome.
