Both Teams to Score – Yes
They played recently in the French Cup and Marseille won 3-1 which was already the third defeat of 2023 for PSG, more than during the entire last year. Marseille vs PSG always brings special kind of emotions for players and fans alike, and it is a derby that could make the title race more interesting. Marseille played BTTS in three of their last five games while PSG is five out of five which should be strange considering that they have the best defense in Ligue 1, but things haven't gotten to plan for the Paris team despite them being the top team in the rankings. Checking out their last five h2h encounters, only two ended with both teams scoring at least one goal.
Draw
This Marseille vs PSG prediction is looking at the drawn match. Even though Marseille won at home the last time they played, PSG will refocus after everything that occurred last week. First, they lost to Bayern in the Champions League and then had to come back from 2-3 down at home against Lille, winning after an injury time free kick special from Lionel Messi. Coach Christoph Galtier is as good as gone, the club management is not happy with his work, and he could be fired if PSG fails to beat Bayern in the return leg of their CL clash. Marseille doesn't have to worry about their European journey, they failed to advance in the same competition during the group stages. However, their concentration on their Ligue 1 campaign has given them a huge lift, and now they have a great chance of actually challenging PSG for the title. Marseille won only one out of their last five h2h games in the league, and in the first game of the current season, PSG won 1-0.

Marseille vs PSG Lineups, Team News, and Preview
Marseille
This year's Marseille coach Igor Tudor has done a terrific job with this team even though during the training camp there were signs of players' discomfort with his training regime. However, players have gotten used to the grind and now they can see the fruits of their labor. Marseille is without Samuel Gigot and Amine Harit for this tie.
Predicted lineup: Lopez, Mbemba, Balerdi, Kolasinac, Clauss, Rongier, Veretout, Tavares, Under, Ounahi, Sanchez.
PSG
With their Champions League ambitions crumbling, PSG needs a big win to get them out of the negative mindset the team has found itself in. The positive aspect is the return of Kylian Mbappe who has been the leader on and off the field for this club, and it is only the question of whether the rest of the players will follow his work rate. There are several injury issues for coach Christoph Galtier: Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Achraf Hakimi, Nordi Mukiele, Renato Sanches, and Neymar are carrying injuries.
Predicted lineup: Donnarumma, Bernat, Kimpembe, Ramos, Pembele, Ruiz, Verratti, Vitinha, Messi, Mbappe, Ekitike.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Kylian Mbappe
The ultimate leader for PSG, and the top scorer with 15 goals. He recently came back to the field after suffering an injury which is the best possible news for the Paris team.
