Top 5 predictions for Marseille vs PSG | Ligue 1 2021-22

#3 Marseille to struggle against PSG's attacking trio

With the addition of Lionel Messi in the summer, PSG have assembled the world's best attacking trio on paper. While the football world is yet to witness the devastating trio at their best, we have got glimpses of their caliber. It goes without saying that the three of them can change the tie in a glimpse of an eye on their day.

In their last match against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, PSG secured a 3-2 victory. Despite Neymar's absence, Kylian Mbappe and Messi were both mercurial and got their names on the scoresheet. Neymar is set to feature against Marseille and he already boasts a strong record against them.

Even the most organized defenses are likely to be challenged by PSG's world class attacking trio. Marseille are no exception and our guess is that their defense will falter against the front three.

#2 Kylian Mbappe to get on the scoresheet

Kylian Mbappe has been simply unstoppable for PSG so far this campaign. In awe-inspiring form, the French sensation is one of the top goalscorers in Ligue 1 with five goals.

With his blistering runs on the flanks and an insatiable hunger for goals, Mbappe has been dictating the results of the game singlehandedly. It is no secret that defenders find him hard to mark due to his pace, agility and movement in the final third.

If Mbappe is not putting the ball into the net, he is finding ways to create for his teammates. Due to his exploits, he has racked up eight assists in all competitions - four each in Ligue 1 and the Champions League.

After inspiring a comeback against Angers in Ligue 1, Mbappe scored a goal, assisted another and won a penalty versus Leipzig. Considering his outrageous form, it is highly likely that Mbappe will score again versus Marseille.

#1 Individual quality to help PSG secure three points

With a strong start to the campaign, Marseille have shown that they are no pushovers. The rivalry is expected to boil over and Sampaoli's men will be itching to collect all three points at home against their arch rivals.

Meanwhile, PSG are banking more on the individual quality of their front three to gain victories. It has worked for Les Parisiens, who sit comfortably at the top of their table.

While Marseille are more of a cohesive unit, the pressure will be on them to secure three points and reduce the gap at the top. Our guess is that PSG will once again emerge as victors due to the sheer individual quality in their team.
