Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will entertain second-placed Marseille at the Parc des Princes in a top-of-the-table Ligue 1 clash on Sunday. The defending champions have enjoyed an unbeaten run in Ligue 1, recording 20 wins in 25 games. The visitors have recorded 15 wins and trail the capital club by 16 points.
The hosts extended their winning streak in Ligue 1 to six games last week, recording a 4-1 away triumph over Reims. Bradley Barcola scored in the first half, and Gonçalo Ramos added a goal in the 50th minute. Substitute Ousmane Dembélé scored twice in stoppage time.
Dembélé scored again when they played Liverpool in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday. The two teams were level on aggregate score and Les Parisiens won 4-1 on penalties.

PSG vs Marseille Prediction
Les Parisiens have been in good touch recently and have lost just one of their last 25 games in all competitions. They have scored at least four goals in four of their last six league games and will look to build on that prolific run here.
Luis Enrique has an almost full-strength squad for this match. Arnau Tenas picked up a shoulder injury in training and is likely to be rested here.
Les Phocéens have lost two of their last three games, scoring just two goals in that period. They have lost their last six Ligue 1 meetings against the hosts, failing to score in five.
Faris Moumbagna, Robinio Vaz, Amine Harit, Amir Murillo, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will miss the trip to Paris due to injuries. Ruben Blanco and Chancel Mbemba remain excluded from the first team and are not an option here.
The league leaders have an unbeaten record in Ligue 1 this season and are unbeaten in their last eight league meetings against Marseille. With that in mind and considering their prolific run in recent games, we back the capital club to register a comfortable win.
Prediction: PSG 3-1 Marseille
