Marseille is competing well with all the other teams in the league this season and while PSG is at the top of the points table, Marseille is third on the points table. This match is very important for Marseille on the one hand because if they win they will move to number one or second position in the points table but on the other hand this match is more important for PSG. If PSG wins this match, PSG's point gap over their nearest rivals will increase slightly, which will put them far ahead in the title race in their league tournament. Since PSG currently lacks a notable star, they will have to try to perform well as a team and move forward in that way.
This is a very decisive match for both teams, both Paris Saint Germain and Marseille victory is the main thing they must get in this match. For Marseille, victory will bring them equal to Paris Saint Germain's points, of course if they succeed in getting it then it will make the competition even more interesting. Honestly, for me, I want to see the victory can be obtained by the home team. Because as I said before, a victory for Marseille will make the competition even more interesting. If that really happens, then this can also be an opportunity for Monaco to be able to return to the top of the standings with the note that they must be able to win the match in week 9.

They might be thriving in the Ligue 1 but when it comes to tougher competition like the Champions League I don't think they're there yet, yes they got a good squad with a handful of word class materials but they're not putting enough effort outside their domestic league and that's why they don't go far in the Champions League, I think you're right in all you said @Majestic-milf, PSG are only dangerous in France but outside the French soil they tend to be very weak that's why you'll see teams like Newcastle that gave them tough challenge last season then Sporting and PSV this season, it's understandable when they give points against a big club like Juventus but drawing with Sporting and PSV is not enough if they want to be the Champions of Europe, I feel PSG are really satisfied on being the Champions of Ligue 1 and not nothing else.
Luis Enrique knows that he might lose his job if PSG fails to make an impact in the UCL. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is an ambitious man who desperately wants PSG to win the European competition. The game with PSV was painful because the host dominated the match. Call it superstition, PSG might be under a spell because they have done almost everything possible to win the UCL and failed. They are also facing a strong opposition in the Ligue One this season with both Monaco and Marseille closing the gap on them. The match against Marseille is very important because a draw or loss might make them drop to the second position if Monaco can beat Nice. And with the performance of Monaco in the Champions League, where they bashed FK Crvena Zvezda 5-1, Nice might not be a problem.

In Ligue 1 there are always surprises but if the team meets PSG I think a surprise is a little impossible because PSG's game strength is already very good even though they still have some gaps that need to be fixed. With a stronger game this season I am sure PSG is the favorite to become champions again. Maybe Monaco can spread a lot of competition but I doubt Monaco will be able to maintain its consistency until the end of the season.
Without a doubt, the dominant team in Ligue 1 is PSG, of course one sees other performances of some teams, Marseille, Lille, are outstanding teams that have always been there, but it is a mystery, for example the clear example of Lille, they beat Madrid in the UCL, many will say that that result can be achieved with luck, but come on, Lille has an incredible defense, Madrid could not tie and that is significant, it means that this team if it tries can go very far, so I think there is still a long way to go in Ligue 1, Luis Enrique is without a doubt one of the coaches who maintains his level, I like what he does.

Today PSG will prepare their players to compete in the Champions League before they all meet Marseille this weekend. And I generally have no doubts about the level of consistency of the Marseille team players because so far Marseille have made so much progress in their own performance compared to last season. Ligue 1 fans are indeed waiting for the PSG vs Marseille match in Ligue 1 because it is a match between two teams that already have almost equal strength this season.
I also think PSG vs Marseille will be a very competitive match. There is no chance to call the team weak in Marseille this season. PSG's players have scored 25 goals in 8 matches, while Marseille's attack is also quite strong. Marseille's players managed to score 21 goals in 8 matches. Moreover, this match will be played at their home in Marseille. At home, of course, Marseille's players will be more confident. The fight for the Ligue 1 title will become more intense if PSG drop points against Marseille. Marseille, Monaco and PSG are fighting for the title this season. But if PSG continues their winning streak then we will see only PSG dominance in Ligue 1 this season as well.

I would say PSG was the unlucky team against PSV. I wouldn't say that PSG played badly in this match. With an experienced scorer in the squad, PSG could have won this match by a big margin. PSG's match strategy was good. PSG players were able to create a lot of scoring chances. But PSG couldn't score more than one goal. I would say it is PSG's misfortune.
PSG players made a total of 26 shots in this match. 8 of these shots were on target. On the other hand PSV players made only 8 shots in total. PSG's players managed to have 61% of the ball possession. PSG played very well. But due to the lack of experienced strikers in the squad, he could not score more than one goal.
October 23, 2024, 09:07:57 AM
Yes, PSG's UCL has ended and unfortunately they couldn't optimize their performance so they ended up drawing against PSV, Even though they had a lot of chances to score goals, so many wasted goals in this match. They really lost a striker who could score goals productively.

--snipped---
They are rivals of the same level and the draw has been established several times so it is very difficult for both of them to win, Monaco is currently at the top of the standings they have performed impressively this season even though the meeting against Lille was an important meeting in the hunt for points ...........PSG will play in the UCL today for facing Eindhoven, so obviously the match will be very draining on the energy and stamina of the current main players, so it should be able to give an advantage to Marseille who have more time to restore their team performance before facing PSG in week 9 later,

But as what most people said, whatever the result of the match, we are all sure enough that PSG will still remain as the most favorite to win Ligue 1 this season, as the previous seasons happened.

Maybe the match between these two teams will be quite exciting, Marseille acting as the home team, and they have returned to winning ways. true, both teams are equally productive in terms of scoring goals. in addition, Marseille is favored to play at home and does not have a busy match schedule. but, it is not easy to defeat this French League giant. Paris Saint-Germain almost always dominates based on H2H, Marseille always struggles to get full points both home and away. well, this match will be a challenge for Marseille and De Zerbi's players. because, Enrique will not let his team not get full points even though it is an away match. they will target full points to widen the points from the team below them, especially Manaco who has the same points. anyway, I still think PSG is the strongest candidate in this competition. because, this match has not been held and how De Zerbi prepares his team to welcome PSG. plus, for the match between the two teams who will also meet against Manaco. so, let's just wait.

This is an interesting match to look forward to, because both teams have performed very impressively so far, both PSG and Marseille. Indeed, in terms of H2H PSG is superior, but that is not a reference this season because this season both teams have almost the same squad in terms of goal productivity over the last eight matches. So it is certain that the prediction of this match will be fierce, both teams will play very carefully.However, League 1 will be very interesting and the competition will be even tighter if Marseille can win this match at least they can get a draw. That could happen because this match will be played at home even though it doesn't really affect PSG, but it will make Marseille more confident. So far Marseille and AS Monaco have performed very impressively, I hope these two teams can continue to perform consistently so that this will make League 1 more competitive, not always dominated by PSG.

PSG vs Strasbourg.
Paris Saint-Germain is ready to overtake the ranking currently occupied by Manaco, against Strasbourg should not be a difficult match for them. based on H2H, Strasbourg always has difficulty competing with this giant French League team. moreover, this match is held at the Parc des Princes. referring to the predicted PSG line-up, it seems that not much will be rotated by Enrique, Asenssio seems to be the main starter as a center forward, Dembele and Barcola as usual play on the wings. referring to the line-up I referred to, Joao Neves seems to only be a substitute. considering that PSG three days later will host PSV in the Champions League group stage, Luis Enrique's team must get full points to secure their position in the group stage table. The PSG vs Strasbourg match will be held soon, both teams have a gap based on the odds presented by the bookies. but it seems Paris Saint-Germain will not be too insistent in this match, they will not rush to score a quick goal. the point is, PSG is targeting to eliminate Manaco at the top of the standings.
PSG team played excellent in this match and they gave a sign of being good team . They did 4 goals in this match and that was not an easy task but they did that. 4 different players did goals in this match and Mayulu did goal at 18 minutes after starting the match and they continue to do goals in this match. Asensio did goal at 47 minutes and Mara did goal for his team at 58 minutes and we saw this this team as recessive team because they did not play well in this match and their stat was very bad in this match. PSG football team has good position on points table after winning this match. They have 20 points and they have first poison and they have capability to win this league1.Paris Saint-Germain is ready to overtake the ranking currently occupied by Manaco, against Strasbourg should not be a difficult match for them. based on H2H, Strasbourg always has difficulty competing with this giant French League team. moreover, this match is held at the Parc des Princes. referring to the predicted PSG line-up, it seems that not much will be rotated by Enrique, Asenssio seems to be the main starter as a center forward, Dembele and Barcola as usual play on the wings. referring to the line-up I referred to, Joao Neves seems to only be a substitute. considering that PSG three days later will host PSV in the Champions League group stage, Luis Enrique's team must get full points to secure their position in the group stage table.

The Ligue 1 for long now have been the league for PSG. Every year they gets to win the league title as though it’s theirs to win always. PSG have been playing very well in my opinion and with the way they’re going this season, it is also going to be a big win for them and will be taking the Ligue 1 title home this time around too. Only Monaco are showing some kind of resilience and fights for this title with them, and as it is now, they’re keeping up with the pace but I don’t know how far they can keep up with this. Monaco should know that it won’t be an easy one for them especially when they meet with PSG head to head. But we shall get to see how they farewell to the end of the season. I see their performance great and encouraging but I can’t actually vouch for them any further to get that big result and win the league title.
The match between Strasbourg and PSG was good enough for PSG because they had a good performance in this match after beating Strasbourg with a 4-2 result. The good thing in the match about PSG was about Senny Mayulu the young player of this team he is just an 18-year-old player and he is not experienced like many other players but still, Senny Mayulu scored the first goal for his team and he had a good performance in this match and this a good sign for Enrique because instead of using old and expensive palyers, they are using this young player and they usually get good results.

There may be surprises in the league and in some matches, but PSG has an advantage over other teams in terms of squad quality. Other teams cannot break PSG's superiority and this allows PSG to be very comfortable in the league. I thought PSG would make big changes in the team during this transfer period, but they didn't. The team is way above the league level, PSG can be champions in the league, but I'm sure they want to be successful in the Champions League more. That's why there are so many deficiencies in the team because PSG is still not at the desired level compared to the big teams.
As you said, if teams try to do something to get what they want, we can see very different results. The league level is not the same as the Champions League, but still, the higher the league level, the higher the level of the teams.

PSG will play in the Champions League and I don’t think it will be in their favor. On the other hand, Marseille don’t have any international matches and are only focused on the domestic league. This can give them an advantage to prepare better. Marseille are also playing at home. I think this match will be really competitive. It’s hard to say who will win this match. Most people will support PSG but I think PSG will get tired if the Champions League matches are intense. PSV is not a difficult team for PSG but they can also give a surprise. I think this match has a chance to end in a draw. Although I hope PSG loses and Ligue 1 will be more competitive.

I do not think so. I can see why people may think that way, but I believe PSG is a much much better team, more than what the gap between them shows. Sure, they have only three points difference in the league so it looks like they are close level teams, but I also believe they are doing much worse and PSG is much better. Obviously we could see PSG lose point/s unexpectedly as well, to any team, but if we are being honest I would say PSG should be getting this win very very easily, without much trouble at all.I believe the best thing about this current situation would be betting on PSG to win this game. The team has been doing fine lately and they are going to end up with a win because they need to keep the run going against Monaco as well. Monaco is doing better than expected, and that should not be a shock to anyone, they are definitely looking like they are doing amazing at the moment and should not be considering the situation changing so PSG needs every win.
October 22, 2024, 09:23:26 AM
Maybe this is just me, and I could be very wrong here, but I never believed De Zerbi was a good coach. I didn't like his tenure at Brighton at all, he never looked like he was good enough coach to bring out the best on younger players, and he had bad averages there as well. He never broke over 1.80 in any of the teams he managed aside from Shaktar, and that should be telling something about what he is capable of doing.
Right now, he looks good with Marseille, but that's a team that should be second place or worst case third place anyways, when you are given a great team getting the results isn't shocking. He doesn't look that amazing to me, he is just doing what the team should be doing anyways, hence the results do not look that crazy to me at all.
I believe Marseille spent way too much money to build this team, and they could have just spent a lot of money to find their own great coach as well. Look at Atletico Madrid, they know they are not as good as Real or Barcelona, but they found Simeone and they are doing something good with him for over a decade now, Marseille knows they are not as good as PSG, so they should find someone decent which can stay top three every year while doing fine at UCL as well.
