Marseille had previously caused PSG heartbreak at the beginning of the season. |
In the early hours of February 9th, PSG will host their biggest rival in Ligue 1 this season, Olympique de Marseille, at the Parc des Princes. This will be the third encounter between the two teams in the 2025/26 season, with each side having secured one victory.
Therefore, the upcoming match will be extremely unpredictable. Experts believe this game is crucial for the remainder of the season, especially given Marseille's recent decline in form.
A defeat against league leaders PSG would leave the Merseyside club trailing in the Ligue 1 title race. Conversely, a Marseille victory would narrow the gap with PSG to six points, making the title race even more exciting.
Since the Qatar Investment Fund (QSI) took over, PSG completely dominated Marseille for much of the past decade. However, in recent years, and especially this season, the port city club has significantly narrowed the gap with the European champions.
A prime example is at the beginning of the season, when PSG, missing several key players, lost 0-1 to Marseille at the Stade Vélodrome. However, the Champions League winners then secured a dramatic victory on penalties against Marseille at the Trophée des Champions.
PSG will be without Achraf Hakimi for this match due to a suspension after receiving a red card in the 2-1 victory against Strasbourg last weekend. Kvaratskhelia is also absent due to injury, while the availability of Ruiz and Ndjantou is uncertain.
On the Marseille side, coach Roberto De Zerbi will be without a number of stars such as Vaz, Lirola, Blanco, Maupay, Bakola, Garcia, Gomes, and Murillo. However, Abdelli and Nnadi could make their debuts for Marseille.
