This Sunday sees Canet Roussillon face off with Marseille at the Stade Gilbert Brutus in a Coupe de France match.

Canet Roussillon do not appear capable of springing an upset and eliminating Ligue 1 giants Marseille from the competition.

Canet Roussillon vs Marseille Head-to-Head

Canet Roussillon have had a number of their recent fixtures canceled, meaning they’ve only played in the Coupe de France since the start of 2021.

Their most recent game came on 21 February, when they edged out Stade Poitevin after a penalty shoot-out following a 1-1 draw.

Meanwhile, Marseille have won just one of their past 11 league matches.

New boss Jorge Sampaoli oversaw his first game in charge this week, but it didn’t pan out as he’d have planned. His side fell 2-0 to Ligue 1 leaders Lille.

Marseille qualified for the round of 32 of the Coupe de France by defeating Ligue 2 side Auxerre on 10 February.

Canet Roussillon have never faced Marseille before, so there are no historic results to look back on between these sides.
