Marseille haven't won at the Parc des Princes since September 2020, yet their 1-0 victory at the Vélodrome in September 2025 handed PSG their first league defeat of the season.
Now the stakes intensify as these fierce rivals clash with PSG defending a nine-point Ligue 1 lead over third-placed Marseille.
- Competition: Ligue 1 McDonald's (Matchday 21)
- Venue: Parc des Princes, Paris, France
- Date: Sunday, February 8, 2026
- Start Time: 5:45 AM AEDT (Monday)
PSG vs Marseille Form and Head to Head
PSG holds the upper hand in the overall Le Classique record with 52 wins to Marseille's 35 across 110 competitive meetings.
Their most recent encounter, the Trophée des Champions on January 8, finished 2-2 after 90 minutes before PSG prevailed 4-1 on penalties. That result extended PSG's dominance in knockout scenarios, though Marseille's 1-0 win at the Vélodrome in September proved they can trouble their rivals.
PSG arrive in strong domestic form with three consecutive Ligue 1 victories, including a 3-0 demolition of Lille and away wins at Auxerre (1-0) and Strasbourg (2-1). They sit top of the table with 48 points. Marseille occupy third on 39 points, nine adrift of their hosts, with their recent run showing more draws than decisive results.
Injury Lists and Absences on Both Sides
Both squads face significant personnel challenges. PSG will be without captain Marquinhos, while Achraf Hakimi serves a suspension following his red card against Strasbourg. Injuries and suspensions have depleted Luis Enrique's squad options.
Marseille's concerns centre on Geoffrey Kondogbia's calf injury and Nayef Aguerd's groin injury.
PSG vs Marseille Betting Markets
The Parc des Princes has been a fortress for PSG, with the club finding the net in their last 42 consecutive Ligue 1 home matches.
The January meeting's four goals and Marseille's attacking firepower through Mason Greenwood (13 Ligue 1 goals) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang suggest both teams can trouble the net despite the defensive absences - especially as clear skies and 11°C temperatures should ensure conditions favour attacking football.

PSG vs Marseille Prediction: Our Pick
PSG look the most likely winners given their extraordinary home scoring record, but backing both teams to find the net adds value to this selection.
The 42-match home scoring streak speaks to PSG's attacking quality regardless of personnel, while their 2-2 draw with Marseille just a month ago demonstrated OM can breach even a settled Parisian defence.
With both sides missing key players and Marseille's Greenwood-Aubameyang partnership providing significant attacking threat this season, expect goals at both ends. PSG's nine-point cushion and home advantage should prove decisive, but Marseille have enough quality to avoid a shutout. The risk lies in PSG's defensive absences potentially leading to an unexpectedly open contest, though their home record suggests they can outscore most opponents regardless.
