Marseille vs PSG Predictions
Marseille face another shutout against PSG
Marseille have lost four matches in a row in all competitions and failed to score in two of them. Their season had started with a 4-0 win over Strasbourg, but defeats to Monaco, Paris FC and Rennes quickly changed the mood.
Thursday brought an even heavier setback. OM were beaten 4-1 by Besiktas in the Europa League, with the Turkish side threatening to make the margin considerably wider.
PSG, by contrast, had a full week to prepare for Le Classique. Luis Enrique’s side have also won six of their last nine Ligue 1 visits to the Vélodrome, with last season producing the only defeat across that spell.
The clean-sheet side of the bet carries its own weight. PSG have won to nil on three of their last four trips to this ground, while Marseille have failed to score in six of the last seven meetings in Provence. With that record behind them, I’m backing PSG To Win To Nil at 3.00.
There are still a couple of details worth folding into the wider picture. PSG only edged Brest 1-0 for their first league win last weekend, despite much stronger European results that included the UEFA Super Cup victory over Aston Villa and a 6-1 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava.
Marseille are also without Geoffrey Kondogbia and Tochukwu Nnadi, leaving Bruno Genesio with fewer midfield options for a fixture that regularly demands plenty from OM.

Ferran Torres keeps finding the net
Ferran Torres is the clear player angle after scoring four goals across his last two appearances. He already has six goals this season, giving his anytime scorer case a strong personal base.
His current return has also come while sharing the forward line with Ousmane Dembélé and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia. The attention given to those attacking teammates, together with their willingness to create for others, has coincided with Torres continuing to finish chances.
Six goals already make his recent scoring run difficult to overlook, and Ferran Torres To Score Anytime is the way to go at 2.00.
Ashraf Hakimi is expected to be fit enough to return, adding another available option around PSG’s attacking unit without changing the focus on Torres and his own numbers.
