Paris Saint-Germain vs Marseille predictions
Luis Enrique’s Paris team have been in outstanding form in recent weeks. They sit top of Ligue 1 with 65 points from 25 matches and they are also into the last eight of the Champions League.
On Tuesday, PSG knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League on penalties. The aggregate score was 1-1.
Paris won 1-0 on the night at Anfield thanks to a goal from Ousmane Dembele. The win avenged PSG’s Parc des Princes mugging, where Liverpool defeated them 1-0 in what was one of the biggest football robberies in many a year.
PSG will now face Aston Villa in the quarter-final.
Before they can worry about Villa, Luis Enrique’s team have some domestic issues to take care of.
Paris are 16 points clear of second place Marseille in Ligue 1. A win on Sunday would increase that gap to 19 points, with just eight matches and 24 points left to play for.
If PSG can get the win in Le Classique they will have one hand on the league trophy. This will leave them free to focus on the Champions League and French Cup, in what is now shaping up to be one of their best seasons for many years.
Although they will never admit it publicly, Marseille already know they are playing for second place. Even if Les Phocéens inflict a first defeat of the season on PSG on Sunday, it’s only really three points towards the race for second place.
Roberto De Zerbi and his Marseille team are having a good season. They have played some great attacking football, led by the exciting trio of Adrien Rabiot, Mason Greenwood and Neal Maupay.
Mason Greenwood, in particular, is having an impressive season. The former Manchester United forward is the top scorer for De Zerbi’s team with 15 goals.
Only Ousmane Dembele (20 goals) has found the back of the net more often in Ligue 1, and the PSG forward is probably having the best season of his career.
Marseille have 49 points from 25 matches. They have dropped six points in their last three games. But on a positive note, they have the second best away record in Ligue 1, with nine wins from 12 on the road.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Marseille betting tips
PSG beat Marseille 3-0 in the reverse fixture at the Stade Velodrome on Matchday 9. They are 4/11 to complete the double over Les Phocéens when they meet on Matchday 26 on Sunday. Check out our PSG vs Marseille betting tips below:
PSG to win and over 2.5 goals
Famous last words, but PSG have the look of a team who are going to go the season unbeaten in their domestic league.
The league leaders have dropped only ten points out of a possible 75 and are head and shoulders above the rest of the teams in the division.
Furthermore, Marseille look to have run into a spell of poor form just at the wrong time.

We can only see another win for PSG. But at odds of 4/11, we need to add something to the bet to make it better value.
If we add over 2.5 goals, it pays 5/6 with Paddy Power. That bet covers 2-1 to PSG if Marseille pushes the league leaders close. It also covers a repeat of the 3-0 scoreline PSG won by earlier in the season.
Tip – Back PSG to win and over 2.5 goals at 5/6 with Paddy Power
Both teams to score
PSG play a very attractive, pleasing on the eye style of football. But not only does it result in plenty of goals for the Parisians, it also means they concede a few as well.
PSG has won ten of their last 11 matches in Ligue 1. During that run they have kept just one clean sheet.
Marseille have failed to score in two of their previous three matches. But Roberto De Zerbi’s team are attack minded, and they have found the back of the net in 20 of their 25 Ligue 1 matches this season.
Given the gravity of this match, I would expect De Zerbi’s team to give it a real go and get themselves on the scoresheet.
Tip – Back yes in both teams to score at 12/25 with BetMGM
Ousmane Dembele to score anytime
I really am torn on this betting tip. I was going to go for PSG’s new young sensation Desire Doue. The 19-year-old is 21/10, and he has provided two assists and scored one in PSG’s previous two Ligue 1 matches.
But then I saw that Ousmane Dembele is even money to score anytime.
This is the same Ousmane Dembele that has scored in nine of his previous ten Ligue 1 matches. The only match he failed to score in was against Toulouse on Matchday 22, when he was only on the pitch for 27 minutes.
Furthermore, in those ten matches, Dembele has scored an astonishing 15 goals. He is simply unplayable at the moment.
The best way to approach this bet is to back Dembele if he plays. But if Luis Enrique decides to rest his main man and give his younger prodigy a start, back Doue instead.
Tip – Back Ousmane Dembele to score anytime at even money with bet365
