H2H stats
Saturday’s game at the Stade Vélodrome will mark the first ever meeting between Marseille and Paris FC in any competition. This makes predictions difficult, but we have analysed their individual form to determine the most probable outcome.
Marseille team overview
Marseille’s second-place finish last season was their most successful in three years, and their fans hope they can challenge PSG for the title this season.
Things got off to a very poor start last weekend as Roberto De Zerbi’s team failed to beat Rennes, who were down to ten men after only 31 minutes.
However, Les Phocéens have a better chance of securing their first win of the new campaign when they welcome one of the newly promoted sides, Paris FC, to the Stade Vélodrome this weekend.
Marseille won each of their last four games at Stade Vélodrome, scoring at least three goals in each, which will hugely motivate them ahead of Saturday’s game.
Another positive is that there is only one injured player in the squad: left winger Igor Paixão, who sustained a muscle injury last month.

Paris FC team overview
Paris FC secured their first ever promotion to Ligue 1 with a second place finish last season, after an eight-year stay in the French second division.
Life in the top flight is expected to present many challenges and the team got a taste of this last weekend when they played against Angers at the Stade Raymond Kopa. Les Bleus lost despite having a man advantage for over half an hour whilst failing to score.
However, head coach Stéphane Gillot will be motivated by the fact that they avoided defeat in each of their final three away games of the 2024-25 campaign, securing one win and two draws.

Prediction
Marseille failed to impress on Match Day, registering only two shots on goal despite enjoying 73% possession, but they are a different side at home. Roberto De Zerbi’s side won their last four Ligue 1 home games 16:5 on aggregate and have lost only one of their last 12. They face Paris FC, who are playing only their second game in the French top flight, making a home win the most likely outcome of the fixture.
Three reasons we expect Marseille to win this game
- Marseille have won seven of their last eight Ligue 1 home matches.
- Paris FC won just one of their last four competitive matches.
- Marseille scored three or more goals in six of their last eight home matches.
