Paris Saint-Germain return to action in Ligue 1 when they visit the Orange Velodrome to face Olympique Marseille on Sunday. Roberto Di Zerbi’s hosts are winless in 11 home games with the Parisians.
Marseille returned to winning ways in style as they hammered 10-man Montpellier 5-0 at the Stade de la Mosson last Sunday. Before that, De Zerbi’s men saw their three-game winning streak end with a 1-0 loss at Strasbourg before drawing 1-1 with Angers.
OM have five wins from their opening seven Ligue 1 games and are third in the standings with 17 points.
The Parisians, meanwhile, failed to return to winning ways in the UEFA Champions League, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by AZ Alkmaar at the Parc des Princes in midweek.
Luis Enrique’s men, who have four points from three Champions League matches, return to Ligue 1, where they have flown out the blocks, being one of two unbeaten sides in the division.
The Parisians are unbeaten in eight league games, winning six, and are top of the pile, leading second-placed Monaco on goal difference.
