Orange Vélodrome, Marseille
📊 Match Insights
Marseille will host Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Velodrome on Sunday evening for the initial Le Classique of the 2026-27 Ligue 1 season.
In their last league match, Marseille suffered a 1-0 loss to Rennes at Roazhon Park, whereas PSG bounced back with a victory over Brest.
After finishing as runners-up in the 2024-25 Ligue 1 season, Marseille was likely disheartened to miss out on a top-four finish last May. Their challenging start to the current season has raised concerns that the situation could deteriorate further.
Despite beginning the season with an impressive 4-0 win against Strasbourg at home, Marseille has since lost to Monaco, Paris FC, and Rennes, leaving them in a disappointing 13th place in the Ligue 1 standings.
Bruno Genesio’s team also had a disastrous start to their UEFA Europa League campaign, suffering a 4-1 defeat to Besiktas on Thursday, marking the first time they conceded more than three goals in a European match since November 2021.
This recent heavy loss is part of a worrying trend, as Marseille has conceded 10 goals in their last four matches, including three in their most recent Ligue 1 home defeat to Paris FC.
Historically, Marseille has struggled against PSG, losing seven of their last eight encounters, including a significant 5-0 defeat at Parc des Princes in February. They will need to perform at their best to secure a positive result this Sunday.
In contrast, PSG, who achieved a remarkable domestic and Champions League double last May, have had an unexpectedly slow start to their current league campaign.
