PSG enjoyed a successful time last season, winning a domestic treble before advancing to the Champions League final. Even though they were eventually defeated by red-hot Bayern Munich, there were lots of positives to be taken.

Now, with a new season already underway, one of their aims will be defending the league title for the umpteenth time. With the caliber of players within their ranks, Tuchel’s men are huge favorites to lift the prestigious trophy at the end of the campaign.

PSG vs Marseille Team News

Last season’s exploits will live long in the memories of PSG supporters. They were utterly ruthless throughout the term, clinching every available domestic trophy to add to their nice-looking silverware cabinet.

Beginning the new league campaign with a game against newly-promoted Lens last time out, PSG were overwhelming favorites to come away with the win. In fact, the Parisians were not expected to break a sweat to throw Lens under the bus.

However, Sang et Or put forth a strong performance to upstage Thomas Tuchel’s men. Probably the biggest upset French football will witness this season, Lens registered a narrow 1-0 win to condemn PSG to a shocking defeat.

As expected, the Red and Blues dominated proceedings throughout the game but failed to find a route past the opposition defense. The lack of creativity upfront cost PSG a lot, as they struggled to create any gilt-edged chance all through.

Eventually, Lens’ Ganago struck in the second-half to send Les Parisiens sinking. To be honest, the handwriting had been on the wall prior to kickoff. PSG were missing a lot of key players to injuries, forcing Tuchel to field a rather weak squad on the day.

Having already lost their first game of the season, PSG will be determined to pick up their first points of the season when they lock horns with Marseille this weekend. Marseille finished just behind the Red and Blues last term, and will be gunning for league title success this time around.

They recorded a narrow win against Brest on the last matchday, toiling all day to post all three points on the board. Given a run for their money, the Olympians were very fortunate to have escaped with victory over Brest.

Caleta-Car was the cream of the crop for Marseille, registering a brace to help his side to success. Thauvin also got in amongst the goals, breaking the deadlock just inside 20 minutes.

With their second game of the season pitting them against a depleted PSG team, Marseille have the perfect opportunity of picking up maximum points. A win here could see them break into the top-three mix on the log.

Injured or Suspended Players

PSG: Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Mauro Icardi, Marquinhos, Angel di Maria, Leandro Paredes, Keylor Navas, Arnaud Kalimuendo.
