After a series of victories, OM moved into 2nd position in Ligue 1 and reduced the gap with PSG. If Adrien Rabiot and De Zerbi aim high, experts remain skeptical about Marseille’s chances in the title race.

Thanks to a convincing victory against Le Havre (5-1), OM, under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi, remain in second position in Ligue 1, 7 points behind PSG (with one game in hand for Paris).

Adrien Rabiot, star recruit of the summer, is optimistic: “I am someone who looks ahead. The objective is to bring OM as high as possible and to tickle PSG from now on. » The current good dynamic (5 wins and 1 draw since November) seems to give hope to Marseille supporters.

Opinions divided on OM’s chances

Despite this rise in power, experts remain skeptical about Marseille’s ability to catch up with PSG. For Jérôme Rothen, the gap in level between the workforce is too great: “There is a gap. OM players are not at the level of those of PSG. »

Christophe Dugarry and Éric Di Meco share this opinion, emphasizing that OM lost their direct confrontations against the Parisians. However, Nicolas Filhol, journalist for Football Club de Marseille, hopes that OM will maintain the pressure to “tickle PSG to the end” and avoid losing precious points against more affordable teams.
