Ligue 1 Preview: The French national derby paris hosts Marseille

1. Ligue 1: Paris Saint-Germain vs Marseille

1. The latest situation of the team

At 2:45 a.m. tonight, the 32nd round of the Ligue 1 derby, Paris Saint-Germain will face Marseille at home. The match was declared a very spectacular game, knowing very well the competition among the supporters of the two teams. This season's tour ended unexpectedly in a draw, with a score of 0-0.

Paris Saint-Germain:

Paris Saint-Germain are currently in first place and the only goal left for the season is to win the title. If they lose today, Marseille will be close to 9 points and can put a little pressure on the 7 stages before the end of the season. In the last two games of the league, Paris Saint-Germain showed the pressure to get rid of the Champions League, scoring two spectacular victories, 5-1 Lorient and 6-1 Clermont away, messi scored 11 goals - Mbappe Neymar trio, French and Brazilian scored five goals each, and The Argentine scored one each.

Marseilles:

Marseille, on the other hand, is currently one of the healthiest teams in Europe, with eight consecutive wins, four consecutive ligue 1 wins and four consecutive Europa League wins, and has reached the semi-finals. After a difficult journey in the Western League, Marseille won 1-0 and won the match against PAOK on the return leg. In the final match of the championship, Marseille scored another important victory, a 2-0 victory over Montpellier.

2. Battle analysis

In greater Paris:

The 102nd match of the French national derby will be held on Sunday in the Parc des Princes between the two teams in Ligue 1, with Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille once again in hostilities.

Mauricio Pochettino's side gave Clermont a football lesson 6-1 in the last match, while the visiting team had just booked a spot in the Europa League semi-finals.

Forced to sit in the comfort of their living room in midweek watching their Champions League rivals battle for a place in the final four, Paris Saint-Germain's domestic league is on the rise and Mauricio Pochettino's men have been in a state of agitation since the international break.

After surpassing Lorient by five points earlier this month, the Parisians hit Clermont on six points at the Gabriel Montpid stadium and scored even better, and it was their famous top three that stole the limelight as Kellian Mbappe and Neymar both scored three-pointers, while Lionel Messi had three assists.

Messi's apparent lack of goals in his Ligue 1 debut season is a bit of a concern, but the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner is in his own category after scoring three assists in the French top flight for the second time this season, and Pochettino's legendary attacking big three is finally starting to come together.

Only seven races in the 2021-22 season will pull the champion regular team away from their most recent challenger by 12 points from their most recent challenger Marseille, so Pochettino's side can take a big step to receive victory in Sunday's race.

Paris Saint-Germain's away performances aren't always the case, but the runaway leaders have won a staggering 16 of their last 17 home games in the league – including every one of their last seven games – and the jet lag could have affected their old rivals entirely, who will somehow struggle to give Greater Paris a first home league defeat of the season.

Marseille

Choosing to let eternal veteran Dimitri Payet rest in the Europa League brings victories to Jorge Sampaoli and Marseille, who are still likely to fight for a European Cup to end the season after beating Greek side PAOK in the quarter-finals.

Marseille won the 2,000km trip to Greece 2-1 in the first leg at the Orange Circuit, as Paylet's 14th goal of all competitions this season confirmed their place in the semifinals, with Dutch giants Feyenoord eagerly awaiting their arrival.

Thursday night's victory over PAOK represents the eighth rally of the exciting Marseille team in all competitions, refusing to let their European commitments get in the way of them on the podium and are expected to return to the champions league's top flight.

The gap with Paris Saint-Germain may be too big to bridge, but Marseille's second-place fate is firmly in their own hands as they lead third-place Rennes by three points and seven points better than Strasbourg, and back-to-back goals won after failing to record a single suspension in their first six wins.

Marseille has been an away team to be reckoned with since autumn, scoring 45 goals and 33 points on the grass of their opponents away – the best record for the entire team – but only once in their last 24 games have a derby against Paris Saint-Germain that has ended in victory.

3. Injuries of the two teams

Greater Paris:

The treatment rooms at Paris Saint-Germain are suddenly fully operational again, with Leandro Paredes and Julian Draxler missing the rest of the season after surgery, with Andre Herrera, Ismail Galby, Levine Kurzawa and Abdul Diallo accompanying them in the medical district.

On the positive side, both Angel Di Maria and Keller Navas have resumed training to support Pochettino's option, while Marquinhos is resting in the win over Clermont but should be back in the team's backline.

Os missed Sergio Ramos' partner Presnell Kimpembe in the game as he became the latest Paris Saint-Germain star to be booed by his fans, and the Spaniard is likely to return to the sidelines.

Marseilles:

Marseille also handled a large number of absences in midweek, but four were suspended due to injury as managers Sampaoli, Bambardion, Bubacar Camara and Gelsen all returned with a European ban on the national derby.

Leonardo Baledi and Conrad de la Fuente will not be on the pitch again this season, and Akadiusch Milik's hamstring problems are unlikely to ease in time before the trip to the capital.

The well-rested Duo, Kamala and Gelsen trio will all be vying for a start on a long trip home and quick turns, but given the size of the game, Paylet's 35-year-old legs are unlikely to get rested.
