PSG vs Marseille prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-03-15 19:45.
[p]PSG made history in midweek, becoming the first side to ever eliminate Liverpool from a European knockout tie after they’d won the first leg away from home. The Parisians secured a famous 1-0 win inside regulation time at Anfield before completing the job on penalties to reach the quarter-finals where another date with English opposition awaits in the form of Aston Villa, but for now their focus switches back to the Ligue 1 title race.[/p]
[p]PSG sit a commanding 16 points clear of second-place Marseille pre-round ahead of the latest edition of Le Classique. The league leaders could have the title wrapped up by early April if they win here, and having won the last five Ligue 1 H2Hs without conceding a goal, their chances look good. Another shutout here certainly isn’t a foregone conclusion, as PSG have conceded exactly once in their last six Ligue 1 home games (W4, D2). [/p]
[p]While they may be PSG’s closest challengers, Marseille’s 16-point deficit demonstrates the gulf in class in Ligue 1. Boss Roberto De Zerbi has still had a respectable start to his first season in charge, as they’ve amassed more points at this stage than in three of the last four seasons, but two defeats from their last three league games (W1) have ended any lingering hopes of clawing PSG back. [/p]
[p]Putting that downturn into perspective, Marseille have lost more in their last three Ligue 1 outings than they had in their 11 prior (W8, D2, L1). Hitting the road could be the perfect place to improve upon that – and avoid the ignominy of failing to score in six consecutive games against the same opponent in Ligue 1 for the first time in history – as Marseille have won nine of their 12 away league games this term (L3).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: PSG’s Ousmane DembĂ©lĂ© (G20) has scored in five successive home league games, and he’s also assisted in his last four appearances against Marseille. Marseille’s Mason Greenwood (G15) is DembĂ©lé’s closest pre-round challenger for the Ligue 1 golden boot – his last four goals came after half-time and were the second of the game. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: PSG have scored in both halves in a joint-league high seven home games this season.[/p]
