Olympique Marseille vs Paris Saint-Germain

Le Classique needs no introduction, but this edition carries extra weight: Marseille and PSG arrive in uncharacteristically shaky form for two clubs used to fighting at the top. Marseille sit 11th after four games, PSG just below them in 13th with only two points from three — a rough start for the reigning champions. Marseille thrashed Strasbourg 4-0 to open the season under new coach Bruno Génésio but have since lost three straight in the league, including a defeat at Rennes. Amine Gouiri has been their main outlet, while Pierre-Emile Højbjerg anchors midfield. PSG have drawn with Rennes and Lille and lost to Monaco domestically, though they hit six past Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League. Ousmane Dembélé remains their talisman, having scored twice when PSG demolished Marseille 5-0 in February. PSG lead the historic series 54-36 from 111 meetings. Our prediction: 1-2
