Paris Saint-Germain vs. Marseille Match Analysis and Prediction

Marseille will look to return to the winning ways this weekend when they travel to Parc des Princes for a clash against the table leaders Paris Saint-Germain in the 11th round of the campaign. Kickoffs on October 16 at 21:45 EAT.

The reigning champions PSG are only one point clear of surprise package Lorient, who could knock Galtier’s side down to second with victory over Reims on Saturday, but a return to the Parc des Princes fortress could change everything as well for the hosts. PSG has prevailed in four of their last five top-flight fixtures in front of their own fans and are unbeaten in 26 since 2021.

PSG prepares for this fixture off the back of 1-1 Champions League stalemate with Benfica in their previous match. In that game, Paris Saint-Germain had 62% possession, seven shots with three of them on target and a goal scored by Kylian Mbappé (40′). Benfica got seven shots with one of them on target and a goal by João Mário (62′).

Marseille on the other side had put together a 10-game unbeaten run in Ligue 1 and have been the away-day specialists so far this term, winning each of their last three road fixtures against Nice, Auxerre and Angers without conceding a single goal, prior to losing to Ajaccio.  Igor Tudo’s men have gone four games in all competitions without victory versus the capital giants, and they will be desperate to change that here.

Marseille heads into this meeting after 0-2 Champions League victory over Sporting Lisbon in their last match. In that game, Marseille had 69% possession, 16 shots with five of them on target and goals scored by Mattéo Guendouzi (20′) and Alexis Sánchez (30′). Sporting CP got four shots with two of them on target.
