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.
