One of France’s biggest rivalries returns as Marseille hosts Paris Saint-Germain in Le Classique
Le Classique is back on the Ligue 1 menu this Sunday and will feature as the main course of a busy slate in France’s top flight as leader Paris Saint-Germain travels to face Marseille at the Stade Velodrome. Les Parisiens have another opportunity to clinch the Ligue 1 crown with time to spare if current form persists, having gone undefeated in all competitions since the first week of November. Luis Enrique’s men are currently 12 points clear at the table summit and require just four more wins to retain the league crown, but a derby such as this has the potential to disrupt that rhythm as Marseille looks to spoil the party.

The past four editions of Le Classique held in Ligue 1 have each gone in favor of PSG, who has also managed to keep three straight clean sheets in this fixture.
It’s been almost four years since Marseille last got the better of its bitter rivals in league competition, but Jean-Louis Gasset could be the man to unlock the rivalry anew.
The coach was enjoying a perfect start to life at the Velodrome until just before the international break when Marseille lost back-to-back games against Villarreal and Rennes.
Randal Kolo Muani—who joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt in a $90 million deal last summer—has scored twice in six meetings with Marseille in the past, notching one goal and assisting another when these teams last met:
Enrique’s men put six past Montpellier a fortnight ago and boast by far the best attack in Ligue 1, having netted at least 15 goals more than any other outfit in the division.
That being said, Marseille has prided itself on its defense and will look to tame the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Goncalo Ramos as Ligue 1’s overlords travel south.
