At the Parc des Princes, the league leaders meet: Paris Saint-Germain are top of the standings, while Olympique de Marseille are chasing from third place, but a nine-point gap is significant.
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain come into the match in excellent form: six wins in a row in the Ligue 1 with an aggregate goal difference of 16:4. Luis Enrique's side have beaten some strong clubs in this run — Strasbourg Alsace (2:1), Stade Rennais (5:0) and Lille (3:0), all of them in the top seven of the league. Their home record at the Parc des Princes is particularly impressive: eight wins and one draw in nine matches. They are outstanding in attack (43 goals, the second-best tally) and reliable in defence (16 goals conceded, the best record), with Matvey Safonov in control at the back, the best goalkeeper for saved penalties (5 out of 7) across the top five leagues.
Olympique de Marseille
Olympique de Marseille have been inconsistent. In their last seven league rounds they have dropped points in four matches. Over this period, the visitors conceded 2 or more goals against Paris Saint-Germain (2:2), Angers (5:2) and Nantes (0:2), all clubs from the lower half of the standings. In attack, Roberto De Zerbi's side dominate (46 goals in 20 rounds), but they have problems in defence (22 goals conceded) and have kept only one clean sheet since the end of November.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Olympique de Marseille Prediction
The head-to-head record favours Paris Saint-Germain — six wins in a row in Paris and only five goals conceded. In this match the visitors will try to create something in attack, but the hosts are very strong in defence and are unlikely to give them any chance.
