Jean-Claude Dassier, former president of Olympique de Marseille (OM), anticipates a closely contested match between OM and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the upcoming Ligue 1 fixture. Dassier believes that PSG is the stronger team, but OM has the potential to achieve a positive result.
In an interview with France Football, Dassier acknowledged PSG’s superiority, particularly in individual talents, and recognized their strong performance in the Champions League. However, he emphasized that playing at the Vélodrome, OM’s home ground, adds complexity to the match.
Dassier mentioned the return of striker André-Pierre Gignac as a positive factor for OM, providing them with additional arguments. While acknowledging PSG’s physical and individual prowess, he suggested that if they approach the match with the mindset that it is a significant encounter, OM could pose a challenge.
Dassier concluded by expressing his prediction for the match: “Come on, I’ll take my risks, a little draw!” Despite recognizing PSG’s strengths, Dassier believes in the potential for a closely contested match, leaving room for surprises.
