PSG-Olympique Marseille betting preview
PSG vs Marseille, or the Le Classique, is the most intense rivalry in French football. These two teams play out the latest edition of their decades-old rivalry on this Sunday. Marseille is looking to regain their lost glory, while PSG is on course to win a second straight France Ligue 1 crown.
PSG have a five-point lead over Monaco at the top of the table. If they lose this match, the lead is likely to shrink to just two points. Marseille are fifth, but with a real good chance to rise to the third position, which will offer them a Champions League place.
Marseille, despite having a poor early season, are doing well of late, especially after the appointment of José Anigo as the interim coach. The team have lost only one match in the last nine games. PSG, coached by the ex-Marseille coach Laurent Blanc, are on a 10-match unbeaten run in the league.

PSG-Olympique Marseille Player news
If one man could determine the outcome of this match, it could be Zlatan Ibrahimovic. With six goals in last three matches, he is in incredible form. Such is the aura of his performance that PSG can shrug off the injury-forced absence of its other striker: Edinson Cavani.
Marseille have no injury scares. The team would want all its in-form players – Andre-Pierre Gignac, Dimitri Payet and Florian Thauvin – to come out with all guns blazing against their traditional rivals.
