On Sunday night, Marseille and PSG clash at the Stade Orange Velodrome in a massive game at the top of Ligue One.
Marseille form guideIgor Tudor’s team has been in excellent form of late in Ligue One, having won nine of their last 11 games in the French top flight. Last time out, OM recorded a 3-2 win at Toulouse. The match saw Marseille score at least two goals in three of their previous four league games.
The stellar recent league form has moved Marseille up to second place in the Ligue One table, five points adrift of Sunday night’s opponents. A win could give OM a chance to mount a realistic title challenge.
Marseille’s recent home record in the French top flight is inconsistent, as they have won just three of their last eight home games in Ligue One.
PSG form guideThe reigning French champions ended a three-game losing run in all competitions by recording a 4-3 home win over Lille last time out. The victory kept PSG five points ahead of the hosts.
The game was another high-scoring outing for PSG, as five of the reigning champion's last six games in all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.
PSG’s recent away form in Ligue One is poor, as the Parisians have lost three of their last four away games in the French top flight.
Their recent league matches on their travels have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games. Latest team newsMarseille are without the suspended Chancel Mbemba, while Amine Harit and Samuel Gigot are also expected to miss out through injuries.
PSG have several players likely to miss this game through injury, including Neymar, Nuno Mendes, Nordi Mukiele, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi and Renato Sanches.
What am I backing?This game could go either way. However, over 2.5 goals scored looks to be the most sensible bet, as both teams have been in high-scoring games of late.
