Match preview
Against the backdrop of an eternal drama involving Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint-Germain welcomes Marseille to the Parc des Princes for the 103rd edition of the Le Classique on Sunday night.
The Parisians remain top of the Ligue 1 table despite a 0-0 draw with Reims last week, while Igor Tudor’s side dropped to third after a shock 2-1 loss to Ajaccio.
The defending champions are just over a point ahead of Lorient, which could see Galtier’s side drop to second with a win over Reims on Saturday, but a return to Parc des Princes could help their bitter mood from Paris.
Indeed, PSG have won 4 of the last 5 fights in front of their fans and are 26 matches unbeaten since a 0-1 defeat to Lille in April 2021, but unlike the hosts, Marseille were able to recover after a failed match.
An unfamiliar sense of fear enveloped the Orange Velodrome as Leonardo Balerdi’s own goal helped newly promoted Ajaccio win all three points after a 2-1 loss in Ligue 1 last weekend, but Tudor’s side reacted. perfect for this unexpected failure in Europe.
Prior to the loss to Ajaccio, Marseille were on a 10-match unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 and are the away specialist so far this season, having won their last three road matches against Nice, Auxerre and Angers without conceding a single goal.
Since a superb 1-0 win over PSG at the Parc des Princes to a win Le Classique in September 2020, Marseille have gone four matches in all competitions without a win over the capital’s giants, but it’s almost time for Les Olympiens to end this title race.
