Who will win the 2020/2021 France Ligue 1 Season?

3y ago

Having won nine Ligue 1 titles, Marseille are placed second on the list of French clubs with the most league triumphs – the last of these wins coming in 2010 after an 18 year wait. Since then, the Parisians have claimed 7 of the previous 10 titles.

Marseille are currently enduring a torrid patch of form in the league having lost three and drawn two of their last 5 games. A draw is the result they should be seeking as PSG are beginning to find their feet under new manager Mauricio Pochettino and will want a win to bolster their title credentials.

Marseille vs Paris SG Team News

Marseille are currently in something of a mini-crisis – first-team coach Andre Villas-Boas has been suspended by the club’s management after he publicly criticized their sporting policy and handed in his resignation letter.

On top of that, the French outfit are on a terrible run of form having failed to pick up a win and losing thrice in their last 5 league games. These events prompted dissatisfied fans to stage a protest at the club’s training grounds last weekend which led to the postponement of their clash against Rennes.

Les Olympiens’ latest league game was against 7^th placed Lens which ended in a 2-2 draw. Marseille started out well but ran out of steam, eventually relinquishing their two-goal lead to a spirited Lens – a match which is most likely to be Villas-Boas’ last in charge.

French giants PSG are gradually adjusting to the reality of life under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine tactician has a track record for getting the best out of players in his care; even with limited budgets. Therefore, his time at PSG is expected to be a success.

However, managing PSG was never going to be an easy task – just ask Laurent Blanc and recently dismissed Thomas Tuchel. The club has set its sights on conquering Europe – a feat which has been largely elusive, having dominated Ligue 1 for the past decade.

This is why the club’s current position on the table is quite astonishing. Up until now, the league has mostly been a one-horse race involving only the Parisians. They currently occupy third-place on the log, and are three points off leaders Lille.

Pochettino’s task is simple – prove your title credentials and endear yourself to the club’s fanbase by winning against big rivals Marsielle. The Parisians returned to winning ways against Nimes in mid-week following their roaring win against low-lifers Lorient FC. Di Maria, Sarabia, and Mbappe were all on target in an impressive home victory.

The French giants will seek to prove complete adaptation to their new manager’s style of play against a rival such as Marsielle come kickoff on Sunday.

Injured or Suspended Players

Marseille: Jordan Amavi and Valentin Roniger.
Paris SG: Juan Bernat, Ander Herrera and Keylor Navas.

Marseille vs Paris SG Predictions

Marseille will most likely be heading out without a recognized head coach following the suspension of head coach Villas-Boas. Amidst the recent fan crisis also, it remains to be seen if the players can play with clear heads.

The Parisians have picked up four wins in five with the only blip being the upset loss to Lorient. However, Christmas comes only once in a year – the Olympians shouldn’t expect to be lucky. We see PSG winning comfortably by at least 2 goals.
