In the match of the 26th round of the French championship PSG will play at home with Marseille. This is the most fundamental confrontation in Ligue 1, and it should be bright, because both teams occupy the first place in the standings. Parisians are confidently leading having a gap of 16 points from Provençals. The match could bring PSG closer to early championship. And for Marseille, the game is important from the point of view of security of its second place. The gap from Monaco and Nice is only two points, from Lille - five. So disappointing results could quickly drop Marseille out of the Champions League zone.

In the previous round, the Provençals unexpectedly lost at home to Lance (0:1). Before that, they coped with Nantes (2:0) and lost big to Auxerre (0:3). Marseille have a very bright selection of performers, a lot of good players, but there are problems with the implementation of moments, with the organisation of the game. Perhaps PSG will reveal these problems. Or Marseille will be able, on the contrary, to adjust to such a strong opponent and give it a fight.

PSG are on the rise right now and are one of the best teams in Europe at the start of 2025. The Parisians got past Liverpool in the Champions League and have not lost their tone in Ligue 1. Last round PSG defeated Rennes away (4:1), before that with the same score coped with Lille. In the domestic arena, the Parisians do not allow relaxation and give out very effective winning matches. And for the game with Marseille PSG will also be well tuned. Note that in the last four meetings between these teams won the Parisians, and three times it happened with a large score. Including in the first round of the current championship - 3:0.
