Our prediction for the match PSG vs Marseille
The club from the capital spends its seasons quite consistently. Last year, which was the first for Luis Enrique in France, the trophies were collected at the inner arena and, that is the most important, without Messi and Neymar. Moreover, the semi-final of the Champions League was reached – the team knocked out Barcelona. Speaking about Olympique, it failed then, and it seemed that happened more in a scandal and conflict than in playing. The club finally lost the dispute with Lens by 1 point, 50 against 51, and finished only in 8th place.
The club from Vélodrome learned the lessons and tried to strengthen the squad in the summer. A new coach, De Zerbi, and a number of strong players appeared here. That, combined with a light calendar (especially when the team also lost to Lille on penalties in the cup confrontation), allowed to show strong statistics – it is confidently in 2nd place. However, it stumbled in the previous round, losing to Lens. The Parisians were more focused on their performance in the Champions League, where not everything worked out. Still, they made it to the play-offs and smashed Brest twice in the first round. Then the team, having lost to Liverpool on the native field with a huge advantage, managed to take minimal revenge at Anfield, and Donnarumma saved twice, ensuring the passage further, in the penalty shoot-out. As for the Ligue 1, everything had been already clear, as usual, by spring. One way or another, Rennes was smashed – 4-1.
The champions, even without Mbappé, score 2.8 goals per round, conceding not so few – 0.96. It goes without saying that the guests are much weaker, but good; their ratio is 2.08/1.2.
