PSG – Marseille

The Parisians will surely justify their status as favourites for the match and outplay Marseille

In the match of the sixth round of the French championship PSG will play with Marseille at home. This is the most famous classic confrontation in this country. It is aggravated now by several factors. Both teams are in a rebuilding phase and have not started the championship perfectly. They occupy neighboring positions. Marseille are fourth and PSG are fifth, one point behind the Provençals. In addition, both teams played a game in the middle of the week, but Marseille had less time to recover, as it played in the Europa League, fought with Ajax away and took away from the Netherlands with an effective draw - 3:3. Marseille generally like to play for draws lately. The last two matches in Ligue 1 ended the same way: 1:1 with Nantes and 0:0 with Toulouse. At the same time in the championship the Provençals have not lost yet. But already had time to start a conflict with the fan group, which even threatened the club's management and coaching staff, because of this Marcelino decided to resign. Against the background of these passions, PSG will be easier to deal with a shaken opponent. In addition, the Parisians will not have problems with motivation. In the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund, they showed that they are in good condition. PSG won with a score of 2-0 without any problems. Although in Ligue 1, apparently due to a lack of spirit, as well as due to the peculiarities of the restructuring of the game there were losses. For example, last round PSG lost to Nice (2:3), which now leads Ligue 1. But there is a feeling that this is a temporary phenomenon, and the Parisians will soon be able to return to the top. It is unlikely that Marseille in its current state, despite a good selection of players, will be able to prevent this from happening. Last season, even a dismal PSG beat Marseille in both rounds.
