Marseille team overview
Marseille’s return to UEFA’s flagship club competition, secured through last season’s Ligue 1 runners-up finish, began on a sour note, yet they can take pride from pushing record Champions League winners Real Madrid all the way before narrowly succumbing to a 2-1 defeat on Wednesday.
Despite showing plenty of fight and spirit, Roberto De Zerbi had to endure another frustrating evening in midweek as his men slipped to their third consecutive away defeat, having previously fallen to back-to-back 1-0 losses against Rennes and bitter rivals Lyon.
Roared on by their fiery home support, OM have shown little mercy to visiting sides so far, first dismantling newcomers Paris FC in a 5-2 shootout before handing Lorient a four-goal hammering, and they will be eager to unleash that same attacking ferocity in hopes of denting PSG’s flawless start.
Hamed Traore has been ruled out of Sunday’s Le Classique with a thigh issue, while Moroccan centre-back Nayef Aguerd remains a doubt after a head collision and faces a late fitness test against PSG.

PSG team overview
Although their European opener had the makings of a potential stumbling block, PSG swept aside any doubts by producing a devastating display, crushing Atalanta 4-0 in the French capital to begin their quest for back-to-back Champions League glory in style.
After a midweek display of dominance, Les Parisiens extended their brilliant start to the 2025-26 season, following a Super Cup triumph over Spurs on penalties and a flawless four-from-four record in Ligue 1, standing out as the only side in the division with a 100% start.
Prepared to build on their midweek demolition, Luis Enrique’s side look to close out the week in style, heading into Le Classique brimming with confidence after a stellar run away from home, having stumbled in only one of their last 26 league trips (W20 D5).
PSG’s squad faces more absences, mirroring Wednesday’s situation, with Dembele and Doue unavailable and Joao Neves now joining the list after a hamstring injury in the Champions League opener versus Atalanta.

Prediction
Before Wednesday’s encounter versus Atalanta, many questioned how PSG would manage without their star French pair Dembele and Doue, but the Parisians proved that missing key players won’t hinder their goals and ambitions, with that assuredness likely to shine through in Sunday’s fixture. Securing all three points at the Velodrome may not be a stroll in the park, but recent visits have proven a lucky hunting ground for Les Parisiens, who have claimed victory in their last three trips with a combined 8-0 scoreline, suggesting PSG are well-placed to assert themselves in this season’s first Le Classique.
Three Reasons we expect PSG to Win
- Marseille have lost three of their last five matches across all competitions.
- PSG have won each of their opening six competitive fixtures.
- PSG have beaten Marseille at the Velodrome in three consecutive meetings with a combined 8-0 scoreline.
