Marseille vs PSG Prediction & Betting Tips (27 October)

This first Classic of the season comes at the right time for Marseille, winner in Montpellier 0-5 in style last Sunday . The Marseille club thus got back in the saddle after being defeated in Strasbourg 1-0 and held by Angers 1-1 before the international break. OM, 3rd in Ligue 1, 3 points behind their Parisian rival, must take advantage of a current season without a European Cup to qualify for the 2025-2026 Champions League campaign under the leadership of their new coach Roberto From Zerbi. Not yet beaten at the Stade Vélodrome but hanging on twice, OM are not yet sovereign this season on their home ground. Stay at the top of the rankings. The objective of PSG , three-time reigning French champion, is clear in Marseille.

The capital team is still undefeated in the league and has a record of 6 wins and 2 draws. Its points sharing with Reims 1-1 and Nice 1-1 in recent weeks allowed Monaco to take the lead but Luis Enrique's team, victorious over Strasbourg 4-2 on the last day, was able to regain the lead. ahead in the rankings. PSG prepared for this trip to Marseille by hosting PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday for the 3rd day of the Champions League. A disappointing match in which the Parisians were unable to make the difference 1-1. 

Marseille approaches this Classic with its striker Maupay (1 goal), back from suspension, but still has to deal with several defections. Replacement goalkeeper Blanco, striker Moumbagna and midfielder Carboni are all long-term absentees. Absent in Montpellier last Sunday, left back Merlin is likely to return to the group. Luis Henrique (4 goals), Harit (2 goals), Wahi (2 goals) and Greenwood (6 goals) scored against Montpellier and participated in the party in Hérault. The last city had a thunderous start to the season but had not shaken the nets since the 3rd day, then played on August 31. PSG deplores the same absentees as in its last matches. Among them are defenders Lucas Hernandez, still in treatment, and Kimpembe, who recently returned to collective training.

Striker Gonçalo Ramos, who has been out since the start of the season, is also on the side but his return should take place in the coming weeks. At the same time, we should note the return of Kolo Muani (2 goals in Ligue 1). The French international missed the Strasbourg reception and returned to competition on Tuesday in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven . A match in which no Parisian was sharp up front, despite the starts of Dembélé and Barcola. The latter, with 7 goals, is the top scorer in the championship. Dembélé has scored 4 times on French pitches this season.
