Reason for Marseille vs PSG Predictions
A massive Ligue 1 occasion takes place in the South of France on Sunday evening as Ligue 1 champions and current league leaders PSG face great rivals Marseille at the Stade Orange Velodrome. A volatile and likely hostile atmosphere awaits the Parisiens, with Les Phocéens bidding to repeat their 2:1 CDF success against PSG just a fortnight ago. Separated by just five points, a win for the hosts would really set a cat amongst the pigeons in the race for the Ligue 1 crown, with Marseille looking to claim a first title since 2010 and only a second since 1992. Ruslan Malinovsky is a great player, he creates a lot of problems for his opponents, and the greatest virtue of this guy is speed. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup. Centre-back Samuel Gigot is a definite absentee for Igor Tudor´s side, while Amine Harit is also expected to miss out. Veteran forward Alexis Sanchez will lead the attack with support from Turkish attacker Cengiz Under.
With so much on the line, you might expect a tense occasion at the Velodrome; however, PSG´s recent form suggests we should be in store for a goal-laden, a dramatic occasion on the French Riviera. Claiming a remarkable 4:3 win against Lille last weekend, PSG has endured a tough spell with three successive losses prior to that come-from-behind victory against a side they had dismantled 7:1 earlier this season. The visitors have lost three of their last four on the road, while each of their last five domestic matches has seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored, including that 2:1 loss in the CDF earlier this month. Historically, this fixture has not always been a thriller, but PSG usually has a tough time at this venue, with just two wins in their last five. Lionel Messi finally shows his form and scores important goals. He creates a lot of problems for the opposing defenders. Kylian Mbappe is a world-class player, has incredible speed, and makes a difference on the field. Under-pressure boss Christophe Galtier will need to cope without the services of Neymar, with the Brazilian set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines with ankle ligament damage. Elsewhere, Marquinhos, Renato Sanches, and Achraf Hakimi are also set to miss out, while on-form pair Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappe will lead the PSG attack.
Conclusion
PSG is the favorite in this match, and the quality is on the side of the Parisians.
The prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals. We hope that football fans will enjoy this match.
