PSG vs Marseille Prediction and Betting Tips | 16th October 2022
The Ligue 1 features another massive fixture this weekend as Marseille lock horns with Christophe Galtier's PSG outfit in an important clash at the Parc des Princes on Sunday.
PSG vs Marseille Preview
Marseille are currently in third place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side defeated Sporting Lisbon by a comfortable 2-0 margin this week and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form this season. The Parisians were held to a 1-1 draw by Benfica in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

PSG vs Marseille Prediction
PSG have been impressive this season but still need to address a few chinks in their armor going into this game. Lionel Messi has been in emphatic form so far and will be intent on stepping up this weekend.
Marseille have packed a punch so far and are perfectly capable of giving their rivals a run for their money. PSG are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
