What if the Classic had once again become the most anticipated poster of the season? Relegated to second place behind the Olympico because of the lack of suspense between two rivals who no longer swam in the same waters, OM–PSG will have a particular appeal this season. The capital club remains the best performer in Ligue 1, but the margin with its competitors has already narrowed this season. And Olympique de Marseille, weighed down by its inconsistency, has regained color under the impetus of an ambitious transfer window. Beyond the folklore around this Classic, the balance of power promises to be intense and spectacular. If he keeps his promises, he will be a fantastic advertisement for Ligue 1.
Because this match will feature some of the best elite players this season, such as Parisian Bradley Barcola, top scorer in Ligue 1 (7 goals), or Marseillais Mason Greenwood, who is close behind him in this ranking (6 goals) . Collectively, these are the two most prolific attacks that challenge each other at the Vélodrome this evening. But beyond the players present on the green rectangle, this chess game will surely be conditioned by the moves of the two strategists on the bench, Luis Enrique and Roberto De Zerbi. Forget Mbappé, Cavani, Ibra and other Neymars from previous seasons. This year, the coaches will be the stars of the Classic.
The expected compositions:
Marseille : Rulli – Murillo, Balerdi (c), Kondogbia, Brassier – Rabiot, Højbjerg, Harit – Greenwood, Wahi, Henrique.
Paris SG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (c), Pacho, Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves – Dembélé, Asensio, Barcola.
Where to watch the match?
This match between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain counting for the 9th day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast this Sunday on DAZN, from 8:45 p.m.
