Marseille have corrections to make as they go into Matchday 2 of Ligue 1, hosting promoted Paris FC. Both sides had losing starts, but for Marseille, this represents a chance to bounce back. Here’s our preview and a prediction of the match.
Marseille started their season with a 1-0 loss at Rennes, disappointingly failing to break down 10 men. They will be banking on their form towards the end of last season, when they won four straight home matches.
Les Phoceens lost just three in the league all season at home, which was key in their second-place finish. In those four closing matches, they didn’t keep a clean sheet but scored three or more in each.
Paris FC marked their long-awaited return to the topflight with a 1-0 defeat at home to Angers. Now they hit the road, and the difficulty levels go up. They also finished strongly in Ligue 2, but the challenge up here is way bigger, as they’ve probably noticed already.
Coming into the season off the back of seven unbeaten matches in competitive action, Paris conceded nine minutes into their return to the topflight. In their last 11 matches, Paris FC managed just two clean sheets but failed to score in only two of the matches.

Our Marseille vs Paris FC Prediction
These two sides will be desperate to get three points on board following slim defeats in the opening weekend. It is Marseille who seem to have the edge. They will be playing at home, where they had an impressive record last season. Facing a newly promoted side should make their target easily achievable.
The hosts will be concerned about their defending, though. While they were high scorers in the closing four home matches last season, they didn’t keep a clean sheet in them. Our prediction for Marseille v Paris FC is for Marseille to win and both teams to score.
