Olympique De Marseille is set to host Le Classique on Sunday evening against the league leaders Paris Saint-Germain. Les Olympiens bagged an easy 4-1 win over Lorient during their most recent league battle, while PSG got a late dramatic win against Angers. So let us have a look at Marseille vs Paris Saint-Germain match preview.
Marseille vs Paris Saint-Germain Match Preview
Jorge Sampaolis' team is in quite a mixed situation as they ended up in a goalless draw against Lazio in their latest clash in Europa League. The club's recent run-in Europe has been quite a run as all of their 3 games ended in the team unable to get the winning goal. However, they had no problem running over Lorient with a 4-1 scoreline. The Arsenal loanee, Guendouzi scored a brace followed by stellar performances from Milik and Kamara.
Marseille sits at 3rd in the table with a huge 10 point gap with their upcoming opponent, that is PSG. However, Marseille may now be starting to feel the effects of juggling domestic and European commitments, as they can only boast one win from their last six games in all competitions, failing to score in four matches during that underwhelming streak.
PSG on the other hand is in their usual form as they lead the point table and sit comfortably with a 10 point gap. Their recent champions league run has been a bit shaky as they managed to scrape a 3-2 win against Leipzig.
Pochettino's side was also made to work for their most recent Ligue 1 victory against Angers, but after a lengthy VAR review for Pierrick Capelle's handball, Mbappe stroked home from the spot to hand PSG all three points in front of their fans. Despite sitting at the top, PSG's defense has come under question as they were quite exposed in their clash against Rennes. Most importantly this league battle will be very competitive as both sides are setting their eyes at all 3 points.
