PSG will be at home to take on Marseille in Ligue 1 as both sides return to domestic action. The hosts go into this game placed fifth, two places below Marseille. Coming into this game, PSG recovered from their loss to Nice with a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund. After that midweek Champions League win PSG have a third straight home game, with a chance to rise to second. In their last four matches, PSG have three wins, the run only interrupted by the Nice loss. They’ve also scored two or more in each of the last four matches. Kylian Mbappe has scored in each of the last five matches and PSG will look forward to his contribution here. The Frenchman has in total, eight goals, three of which came from the penalty spot. He also has seven goals in the last 10 meetings between these two sides. At home in Ligue 1, Mbappe has seven goals in five matches.

Marseille are coming from a six goal thriller away to Ajax in the Europa League. They battled from 2-0 down to draw the game 3-3. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored twice in that game. However, Marseille’s backline has been a concern. They have two clean sheets in their last seven matches. In eight matches this season, Marseille have returned just three wins. Most of that is down to a porous defence. Marseille have failed to score in just two of their eight matches this season. Their win over PSG in the French Cup in February is the only one in seven meetings. They’ve lost five if seven meetings. Away from home, Marseille haven't been at their best, failing to win any of four. They have three losses and two draws in their last five away league matches.
