PSG has been in a bad form lately because of Mbappe and Neymar injury. Even in the last match against Tolouse, the winning was quite a difficult one. It may be difficult for PSG to accept defeat from Marseille but Betting on Marseille to win against PSG at this moment is quite a good risk to take because in their last clash, PSG was able to escape with just a goal and that can really tell how challenging the match was, even with Neymar, mbappe and Messi on the pitch.

Match between Monaco and psg, psg has been confirmed as the most superior club in the France Major league but we always see this team cutting off the expectation of their fans, PSG is placed very high in a manner that even they are to loss it shouldn't be to amateur clubs but this is what we see in the case of PSG, this match between this two rivals is going to be tough but the better side is going to take the other of the day.

If I refer to the predicted line-up that Galtier will play. Galtier will install a 4-3-1-2 formation, pairing Messi and Neymar and Vitinha as a playmaker. but by the way, this is just a prediction of the line-up Galtier will use. however, it is very likely that Galtier will rotate some of his players because as we know that PSG has a pretty busy schedule. maybe, Galtier chose to rest Neymar and prefer the option of playing Ekitike. Galtier is more focused on Ligue 1, specifically the Champions League.

On the other hand, if PSG does not play one of its stars in this match. I mean Neymar, then Marseille will take advantage of this condition to win the match against PSG. after all, Marseille doesn't have such a tight schedule. especially in the next two weeks, the opponents that Marseille will face are not too tough.

I think that im gonna take marseille in the upcoming match rather than PSG. I doubt if this time PSG can perform so well against marseille due to the new accusation for PSG.

That accusation may disrupt the concentration of the players. Messi will become the only player that may be a savior for PSG. Marseille has been getting bad result last match. This is the hardest thing to determine caused by PSG and marseille were competing with each other.

Risking money to pick PSG is worthy enough. I may change my mind.

PSG probably will do some rotation for this match considering they have tight schedules because this weekend PSG have to fight against Monaco in Ligue 1 and after that they have to faced Bayern Munich in champion league and i will assume this match will not so important for PSG because they will giving priority to the matches which i mentioned above

The opposite condition for Marseille that this weekend they only face Clermont and Marseille also will not playing at european competitions because they have already to eliminate so they will be more ready to faced this match moreover Marseille doesn't have injured issue such as PSG and probably Marseille will be able to beat PSG this time

I see why you say PSG can't fight without Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe. Few players carry most teams. PSG played the French Cup, Ligue 1, and Champions League without these three players. PSG has several great players who can produce under pressure even without its superstars. PSG won the 2020 Champions League without Neymar. PSG can win titles without its three superstars. PSG can win.

Haha, I still remember the words "Champions League Champion's DNA" which was given to AC Milan when making fun of Juventus fans, because Milan often won the UCL. Maybe, for a team that doesn't have championship DNA, no matter how good the team they have, they won't win. PSG had several chances but they failed. We'll see, if this time it will still be the same result as you said, if PSG will lose, or they are going to Final but not win the UCL, maybe PSG doesnt have UCL Champions DNA 
They are only The domestic league king

In the end it will be the same as them having to be knocked out of the Champions League again it seems.
PSG's condition without a player of Mbappe's caliber when facing Bayern was clearly a disaster. Even though in this case they will still be very strong and cannot be underestimated, but with the current conditions it is clear that they will be eliminated no matter how they carry out the scheme.

The Ligue1 trophy for this season is still very likely to be owned by PSG and I am very unsure for other teams in Ligue1 apart from PSG in terms of having a trophy this season. Marseille will still be followed by Lens and Monaco this season if they are not consistent enough in the remaining matches this season, because the three of them will compete for a better place besides the top of the standings which will continue to be occupied by PSG until the end of the season.

Even if psg do not have any player injured all season it is almost impossible for them to win every match in Ligue 1, a team can be favorite, but it does not mean that they are going to win every match they play, it is the same thing in other leagues, they will only lose a few matches just as psg is doing, but it is impossible for them to win every game.

This season is a bit tough for psg, and it would have been tougher if Lens and Marseille continued to be consistent, but recently they haven't been consistent, and they are losing points, while psg is increasing their advantage. Psg are going to win the Ligue 1, but it is because of the inconsistency of their challengers for the title.

But why should Neymar, Mbappe and Messi be taken away from Psg at the first place. Are they not players of the club. In as much as football is a team work, there are star player(s) in every team. For instance if Vinicius Junior and Benzema is taken out of Madrid how do you think Madrid squad will be?
Only Mane that left Liverpool, have you seen the havoc it has caused?

They had many goal attempts in this match but their forwarders wasn't really efficient, from 22 goal attempts only 4 on goal and they scored one time while nice had 14 attempts and 8 on goal leading to score 3 goals, i think the trophy for Marseille this year is already impossible

Marseille lost against Nice due to some tactical errors. Marseille's overall performance was not bad. They played very well. But they focused more on attack leaving the defense unguarded. And that's why Nice had the chance to score from the counterattack. I don't think Marseille will do such a stupid thing against PSG either. Marseille will definitely keep their defense strong against PSG. Because they know very well that PSG's attack is very strong.

Right and it kind of shows that the Ligue 1 is just relatively unattractive for some reason. I don't know whether it is just bad management by the national association and how they market soccer as a product, but after all this also shows that Ligue 1 is fighting with a problem where both sides of the coin are bad. If they allow some sheikh to spend money like crazy, they can get players like Neymar, Messi and Mbappe and make the league more attractive for people. However, it is going to be as one-sided as it is now and, hence, kind of boring. If, as you say, they force PSG to earn more than or as much as they spend, the cub will be blown away, no superstars will be playing in Ligue 1 and desperate the competition for the title being more fierce, the league is kind of boring again.

The only way to get out of this hamster wheel is probably to have more sheikhs or oligarchs invest more money into more French clubs. But that is not a very great idea either.

It kind of seems that national league rankings within Europe in terms of attractiveness are kind of set in stone. It is unrealistic to believe that the Premier League could lose the number 1 spot anytime soon. The first time when I noticed that a national league could really lose some of its prestige was when the rivalry of Ronaldo vs. Messi and Madrid vs. Barcelona fell apart in a sense when many players of that era stopped playing for those clubs and, additionally, Atletico Madrid also started to massively decline.

Problems with PSG come from themselves. With too many international star players, they are so sensitive with impacts from FIFA virus after FIFA days. World Cup 2022 surely has impacted PSG performance recent weeks.

With their ambition and obsession to win Champions League, a first cup there in their club history, they are ready to sacrifice Ligue 1. Winning one or few more Ligue 1 titles don't make their history better too much but winning a first Champions League will change PSG history. And they are fighting and reserving best resources for Champions League to achieve it. Especially in this season, they have best version of Messi since his free transfer from Barcelona.

It is not too bad but 2 defeats and 3 draws after a little bit more than a half of season is a warning signal for them. They must correct their carelessness and weakness to avoid risk of losing Ligue 1. Honestly I think even with their alternative team, they should be able to win Ligue 1 too. Their club have many star players from main squad to alternative team and are able to win the league.

PSG are the favorites to win the Ligue 1 title every season, but they can still fall short in different seasons due to stiff competition from other teams. This season things are not as easy as most people think about PSG, because they have to fight hard to win matches and avoid more draws. I mean lot of Ligue 1 teams have learned about how to stop PSG who usually dominate the game, and by strengthening the defense then draw can be expected as PSG struggle to score goals.

The proof is, PSG has suffered 2 defeats and 3 draws in 22 matches this season. I tend to think it's getting harder for PSG to win every match even though they are favorites, that's because some of their players have been injured. Neymar and Mbappe are important players and when they are injured PSG look very dull.

I don't think so. Neymar and mbappe has been coming to the PSG around 2017 - 2018. Meanwhile, PSG has been consistently winning the league 1 since 2012. If you were thinking PSG as an ordinary club and you're wrong. PSG has been doing so well before it was being acquired by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.

Even PSG can't even win UCL with all of its superstars. You shall remember winning UCL is not an easy task. You will be facing so many biggest clubs from another league. The competition is really strict. That's why PSG is so difficult to win it even with great players.

The problem for the Champions League looks like this season will remain the same as before with them failing in the knockout stages.
The loss of Mbappe's loss now will definitely have a big impact on them in the match. Even though there are still many other players, Mbappe's role is clearly difficult to replace.
As for Ligue 1, I don't think this needs to be discussed anymore because they will be the winners again.

In fact, there is another option to get things done, but it will not be implemented. If you forbid PSG to spend more than they earn (actually earn and not under contracts with Qatari laundering offices), then this club will be blown away in one season and the players will scatter to other leagues. And the championship will immediately become more interesting - after all, even now, if we remove PSG, we see a kaleidoscope of teams that replace each other at the top and, in general, there is a fierce struggle where it is impossible to predict the winner.

Paris SG truly posses the caliber of players that would have gotten them the European champions league by now but due to hard luck and so many other factors the dream of possessing the champions league has always been a failure each year they try. But for them securing the french league,  i feel wont be a problem, its just like they are on constant payroll when it comes to winning their league. I don't think any team in that league can challenge psg for the league @monaco@marseille e.t.c
