Paris Saint-Germain vs Olympique De Marseille: Match Prediction
Luis Enrique's team won three trophies last season (Ligue 1, the French Cup and the Champions League), becoming the first in their country to complete the treble. This season there is a chance to improve that achievement, as the club won the UEFA Super Cup in August and the Intercontinental Cup in December. Now it is time for the French Super Cup, which Paris Saint-Germain won in 11 of the last 12 editions.
The Paris side are in slightly better form. The team, along with Lens, is fighting for the top of Ligue 1, while Olympique de Marseille are currently settling for third place. In addition, Paris Saint-Germain sit third in their Champions League group (13 points after 6 matches), whereas Olympique de Marseille are mid-table in their Champions League group with just 9 points. Moreover, the capital club have won 5 of the last 6 head-to-head Ligue 1 meetings. By the way, in the first half of the championship Olympique de Marseille won 1:0, so the home side has the desire to avenge that frustrating defeat.
Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain (-1)
