TIME: 20:45
In 46 previous meetings between the teams, PSG have won 22 times, Marseille have won 15 times and there have been 9 draws.
Paris Saint-Germain have not had things all their own way in Ligue 1 this season. Having romped away to the title against last season under Laurent Blanc, the club have been slowly finding their feet under new boss, Unai Emery. There have been some good wins in Ligue 1, such as the opening day 3-0 victory over Metz and they 6-0 win at Caen. However, there have also been some disappointing results, such as the defeats at Monaco and Toulouse and the draw at home to Saint Etienne.
Marseille continute to struggle in an attempt to find some good form in Ligue 1. A mixed bag of results is reflected in their position of 12th in the league table and defeats at Guingamp, Nice and Rennes are indicators that it could be a tough night in the capital for Franck Passi’s team. However, Marseille are undefeated in their last three games and will be hoping to add to that sequence.
