PSG News & Analysis

 

PSG had a tough visit to Strasbourg in their last game in the Ligue 1, but managed to secure an important 2-1 win. Achraf Hakimi was sent off so the Moroccan international won’t be available to play against Marseille. Mayulu and Mendes scored for PSG at the Stade de la Meinau, securing the three points for Enrique’s team.

 

Luis Enrique left both Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue on the bench in Strasbourg, but we expect to see them in the line-up against Olympique Marseille. The Spanish manager can’t use two of his stars, though – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Fabian Ruiz are recovering from injuries.

 

The Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele will be needed in the French classic for PSG. The influential winger has scored just 5 Ligue 1 goals since the beginning of the season, but now he’s player who can decide games once again.

 

Olympique Marseille News & Analysis

 

Olympique Marseille are moving entirely according to their plan to finish in Ligue 1’s Top 3. OM are currently third in the standings, but on par with the 4th Olympique Lyonnais – both teams have 39 points won. Roberto De Zerbi’s team needs consistency in order to keep the third place.

 

In their last game OM had a tricky visit to Paris FC in the capital, only getting a point at the Stade Jean Bouin – 2-2. Marseille were actually two goals ahead thanks to strikes from Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but they allowed the hosts to equalise and get back into the game. De Zerbi wasn’t happy with the way his team missed to win this one.

 

Mason Greenwood is a player to watch in Olympique Marseille’s ranks. The English striker has scored 22 goals in 31 matches for OM in all competitions this season. He’s going to be a major threat to PSG’s defence at the Parc des Princes.
