PSG vs Marseille

It is a chance to claim the first piece of domestic silverware as PSG battle Marseille in the French Super Cup on Thursday at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait.

The Parisians are looking to retain the title and come into this clash in good form. They should get the better of their rivals, who have been a bit erratic lately.

PSG News

PSG dominated everything in France last season and went on to win the domestic quadruple. They are the current holders of the Super Cup and will be keen to kick off another trophy haul with victory on Thursday.

The Parisians come into this clash in good form, having gone unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. They warmed up for this clash with a 2-1 home victory over Paris FC In a Ligue 1 fixture last weekend.

PSG are considered one of the best attacking teams in France and have scored in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. Seven of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals, while Luis Enrique’s team have failed to keep a clean sheet in three of the last four matches in this run.

Marseille News

Marseille's last piece of silverware came in 2011 when they beat Lille to win the Super Cup. They have not come close since, and manager Roberto De Zerbi will view Thursday's clash as a chance to end a lengthy trophy drought.

The problem for Marseille is that they have been slightly erratic lately, with just three wins in their last five matches across all competitions. They have lost the other two fixtures on this run, including a 2-0 home defeat to Nantes in a Ligue 1 clash last weekend.

Like the Parisians, Marseille have no issues in attack and have scored in seven of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet six times on this run, while six of those fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

PSG have nine wins and one draw, while Marseille have picked up just two wins in the last 12 matches. However, the Parisians suffered a 1-0 away defeat when both teams met in a Ligue 1 clash back in September.

Verdict

PSG v Marseille

PSG may have lost the last meeting, but boast the overall superior record in this fixture. They are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches and should have the upper hand over Marseille, who are unconvincing at the moment.

Both teams often adopt an open style of play and could be backed to score here. With seven of PSG’s last nine matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat could also be on the cards.
