Olympique Marseille vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction and Betting Tips

Paris Saint-Germain return to action in the French Ligue 1 when they take on Olympique Marseille at the Orange Velodrome on Sunday. Having lost each of the last five meetings between the two teams, Roberto De Zerbi’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over PSG and record their first home win in this fixture since 2011.

Making their first UEFA Champions League appearance since the 2022-23 campaign, Marseille were denied a dream opening-day result in midweek when they fell to a 2-1 loss against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

De Zerbi’s side now turn their attention to Ligue 1, where they have picked up a mixed run of results to start the season, losing twice while claiming victories over Paris FC and Lorient in their opening four games.

Olympique Marseille have picked up six points from the first 12 available to sit eighth in the Ligue 1 standings, but could move into fourth place with a win this weekend.

On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain turned in another solid team display on Wednesday when they thrashed Atalanta 4-0 in the Champions League opener at the Parc des Princes.

This was in keeping with their impressive run of results in Ligue 1, where Luis Enrique’s men have won each of their four games, while scoring 10 goals and conceding three, to sit top of the league standings.

Paris Saint-Germain head into Sunday’s clash unbeaten in 10 of their 11 Ligue 1 away matches in 2025, picking up nine wins and one draw since the turn of the year.
