<p>Taking place at the Orange Vélodrome on Monday, September 22, at 04:45 AEST, Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain will compete in the first ‘Le Classique’ of the season.</p> <p>This is a game that many soccer fans worldwide continue to enjoy, with it often showcasing the best that French soccer has to offer. There are going to be plenty of stars are on show, with top managers in Roberto De Zerbi and Luis Enrique leading their teams.</p> <p>While this year’s match takes place in Matchweek 5, PSG have already managed to rack up a perfect start – winning each of their first four fixtures and taking the sole lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table. Conversely, Marseille have been inconsistent. They are sitting seventh in Ligue 1 with two wins and two defeats.</p> <p>Will the form of these two teams, combined with the star quality they possess, help them produce a classic on the pitch that bettors can sink their teeth into?</p> <h2>Marseille vs PSG Betting Preview</h2> <p>Scoring goals doesn’t look to be an early area of concern for either of these teams, with Marseille having netted nine times and PSG 10.</p> <p>Keeping goals out of the back of their respective nets have also been something that the two clubs have excelled in. Marseille have shipped four, while Monday’s visitors have only conceded three. So, that might point to a tight game being on the cards.</p> <p>PSG have dominated recent meetings, but Marseille’s home advantage has produced upsets in previous seasons. Still, PSG have won the last five meetings (including both home and away), averaging over 2.5 goals per match in these encounters. In these matches, PSG have scored 14 and conceded just one. Marseille's last league win over PSG was in September 2020.</p> <p>Bradley Barcola has been in hot form for the Ligue 1 champions, netting three so far this season in the league. This places him top of the leaderboard, alongside a handful of other names. João Neves also has three. Vitinha has one goal and two assists so far.</p> <p>Marseille have been able to rely on Mason Greenwood to create for them, with the attacker creating three goals (joint Ligue 1 leader). Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has made a goal-scoring return to the club, as he leads the way with two in four games.</p> <h2>Marseille vs PSG Betting Predictions</h2> <p>In our latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/france/french-ligue-1/marseille-v-paris-st-g-9576776">betting odds for Marseille vs PSG</a>, the visitors are the favourites to win this game.</p> <p>Some value may be found in the goals market, though, with PSG averaging 3+ goals per match and having conceded in every game so far. At the same time, both home games for Marseille featured 3+ goals and BTTS (Both Teams To Score); PSG have seen BTTS in three of four matches.</p> <p>This makes the ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ and ‘Both Teams To Score’ markets worth backing, as both attacks are firing and cracks in the defences may start to show under some pressure.</p>
