Marseille vs PSG Prediction 27.10.2024 | Ligue 1

• Competition: Ligue 1
• Date: 27.10.2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Stade Vélodrome (Marseille)

Marseille’s recent 3-0 win in Montpellier has reignited hope for a comeback season, aiming to avoid last year’s disappointment when they missed all European competitions. Fans are clear: they want results, and the players know they carry high expectations. With 17 points and sitting in 3rd place, Marseille is currently in a spot that would secure Champions League qualification, but they have a tough road ahead to hold this position. The biggest test yet? A showdown with reigning champions PSG, who come to the Velodrome as title favorites.

PSG, level with Monaco at the top with 20 points, holds a slight edge as Ligue 1 frontrunners. Their recent 4-2 victory over Strasbourg showcased their strong domestic form, even if they showed a few vulnerabilities in Europe with a 1-1 draw against PSV at home. Despite 26 shots and 8 on target, only one got past PSV’s defense.

Marseille vs PSG pick: MARSEILE WIN OR DRAW 1X

Marseille’s in good shape with just one loss this season, and no European games means they’re all in on Ligue 1. They’re consistent and fully focused, which could give them an edge here.

PSG, on the other hand, is stretched a bit thin juggling the Champions League. They’ve only taken one point in their last two UCL matches, so they’re under pressure and possibly fatigued. For bettors, this clash could be a nice spot to back Marseille, with PSG’s loaded schedule potentially working against them. Marseille’s determined form and home advantage could create value, while PSG’s firepower can’t be ignored.

Marseille will be fired up to avoid a loss against their biggest rival. Tradition might lean PSG’s way, but current form and fitness swing in Marseille’s favor, and they’ve got the home crowd behind them. Given the odds, there’s a solid value in backing the home team to avoid defeat, as they’re being underrated here.
