The Velodrome stadium will host the match between Olympique Marseille and its guest, Paris Saint-Germain, today, Sunday, as part of the 24th round of the French Ligue 1.
Paris Saint-Germain enters today's match determined to secure a victory against a fierce opponent, hoping to snatch three valuable points that will enhance their position in the race to regain the top spot in the Ligue 1 standings. Coach Mauricio Pochettino will be very cautious in facing Olympique Marseille tonight, as Marseille is the team that managed to defeat the Parisian club at home with a score of 1-0 in the third round of the season. That match witnessed violent incidents between the stars of both teams, leading to the suspension of 14 players.
On the other hand, Olympique Marseille enters today's match motivated to take revenge on Paris Saint-Germain, who snatched the French Super Cup title from them in mid-January. Marseille will try to take advantage of the home field and exploit the weaknesses of Paris Saint-Germain that allowed them to win against Neymar's team at the beginning of the season.
It is worth noting that Paris Saint-Germain is currently in third place in the Ligue 1 standings with 48 points, just one point behind Lyon in second place and three points behind Lille, who is at the top. Therefore, a victory in tonight's match would temporarily allow the Parisian team to take the lead, while Marseille is in ninth place with 33 points.
