Olympique Marseille had a losing outing in Ligue 1 in their last game and will hope to recover when they host PSG in the French Cup. The two giants face off on the back of contrasting outings, with PSG coming from a win in Ligue 1. Marseille were 3-1 losers at home to Nice, a result that left them eight points behind PSG in the Ligue 1 title race. That was their first loss in 11 matches, and they have nine wins in that run. In their league meeting with PSG earlier this season, Marseille lost 1-0 and this is not a fixture they’ve really excelled in. They have no win in the last five meetings with PSG. Coming into this game however, they are in good scoring form, having netted in each of their last 14 matches. Both teams have scored in three of Marseille’s last five matches, and at home, they haven’t managed more than a goal in the last three games.

PSG have had a few shaky moments in recent times but will come into this game on a strong run. Their 2-1 win over Toulouse in the last game was their fourth unbeaten outing and they have three wins in this run. In the last round of this competition, PSG thrashed Pays de Cassel 7-0 with Kylian Mbappe scoring five times in the game. PSG’s two losses in Ligue 1 caused a bit of panic but in a run of seven wins in 10 matches, they are really coming into this game on a strong footing. They have failed to score in just one of their last 10 matches, while both teams have scored in six of the last 10 matches. The visitors have one clan sheet only in the last seven away matches. The last time they faced a Ligue 1 side in this competition, PSG drew 0-0 with Nice and went on to lose on penalties.
