Marseille vs PSG: Expect a rough match

The Sunday program of the Ligue 1 round 11 will end with a crucial confrontation between PSG and Marseille. Will the visitors manage to get closer to the Parisians in the standings?

Marseille: there’s a chance to become second

The Southerners played a difficult match in the Europa League against Lazio (0-0). Jorge Sampaoli's side has fared worse in European competitions: third place, three draws, and no wins.

In Ligue 1, the last round ended with a 4-1 defeat over Lorient to break the two-match losing streak. So far they managed to consolidate their position in the standings with 17 points. PSG is ten points ahead, but there is a game to play. Victory over the Parisians will help to go up to 2nd place.

As for personnel shortages, Marseille will have the best possible squad. The sickbay is empty and Arkadiusz Milik, who scored his first goal in the current season in Ligue 1, is in excellent form. This goal was his tenth in 17 games.

PSG: almost everyone is present

The Paris club had a good match against Leipzig in the Champions League (3-2). However, the start was disappointing, with the Germans leading twice. With Lionel Messi slowly finding his feet, they took the vital three points and topped Group A on their own.

In the domestic championship, the last tour was quite difficult. The team had no main stars and Mbappe had to do all the job. The Frenchman coped with the role of the "grinder" perfectly: an assist and the winning goal against Angers ensured a character win (2-1).

The current match won’t be that affected by the absentees. On the field we will not see Ramos, who has not yet to play for PSG, as well as Paredes who’s recovering from an injury. Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe will take part in the upcoming encounter.
