Olympique Marseille vs Paris FC
Match Preview
Marseille host Paris FC in an early Ligue 1 clash with early bragging rights at stake. Marseille sit top of the table on goal difference after a perfect start, while Paris FC are unbeaten too, having picked up a point away from home.
Marseille opened the season in style under new boss Bruno Genesio, thrashing Strasbourg 4-0 as Amine Gouiri scored twice either side of an opposition red card, with Keyliane Abdallah and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg adding late goals. Paris FC were more cautious in a goalless draw at Troyes, dominating possession but missing chances. The sides have met only once before, with Marseille winning, a reminder of how fresh this fixture is at the top level.
With Gouiri in red-hot form and Paris FC still hunting their first league goal, the Vélodrome looks a stern early test for the visitors.
Our prediction: 2-0.
