An exciting top-three clash awaits in Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes on Sunday night as PSG play host to Marseille. It is first against third in terms of the table, with a gap of nine points between them, but a win for Marseille especially would blow the title race wide open.
Both teams were also victorious last time out, with PSG winning 2-1 at Strasbourg in Ligue 1, and Marseille beating Rennes 3-0 at home in the Coupe de France. Nonetheless, we are expecting a competitive game between two of the best teams in French football.
