Marseille vs PSG lineups

Marseille boss Igor Tudor is still without defender Samuel Gigot as his only absentee this weekend, however, he is expected to make changes to his starting side, with Matteo Guendouzi and Ruslan Malinovskyi set to return.

Guendouzi is moved up into a more advanced role, seeing new arrival Azzedine Ounahi drop to the bench just one match after making his first start for Marseille, when he was yanked at halftime. Dimitri Payet also doesn't start, little surprise as he has failed to make much of an impact this season and has been an unused substitute two games in a row.

Marseille starting XI (3-4-3): Lopez (GK) — Kolasinac, Balerdi, Bailly— Under, Rongier, Veretout, Tavares, — Guendouzi, Sanchez, Malinovksyi.

Marseille subs: Blanco (GK), Kabore, Clauss, Elmaz, Ounahi, Vitinha, Payet.

Defensive pair Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos were not risked in last weekend's 4-3 home win over Lille, and should return for the visitors, but Neymar, Renato Sanches and Achraf Hakimi are sidelined. Neymar is sidelined with yet another ankle injury picked up last weekend against Lille.

Christophe Galtier has opted to switch to a 3-5-2, benching forward Hugo Ekitike in favor of an extra midfielder. Vitinha enters the lineup alongside expected starters Marco Verratti and Fabian Ruiz.

PSG starting XI (3-5-2): Donnarumma (GK) — Marquinhos, Ramos, Kimpembe — Mukiele, Vitinha, Verratti, Ruiz, Mendes — Messi, Mbappe.

PSG subs: Rico (GK), Letellier (GK), Bernat, Pembele, Bitshiabu, Danilo, Zaire-Emery, Soler, Ekitike.

Marseille vs PSG prediction, odds

Marseille know this could be their best chance to keep the Ligue 1 title race alive, with PSG potentially distracted by their incoming Champions League clash with Bayern Munich next month, and Christophe Galtier's charges winning just once in their last four games in all competitions.

Veteran striker Alexis Sanchez is in-form for the hosts, and they will fancy their chances of unsettling PSG, and getting a result that keeps them in the hunt.
