Marseille hosts PSG this Sunday night in the biggest game in French football. The team from the south of France is outside the zone, which leads to international competitions, while PSG confidently leads the standings. No matter that, the tensions are high, particularly in the stands, because the fans of these two clubs share huge animosity towards one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just before the international break began, Marseille lost to Rennes on the road, 2-0, and that defeat was the second in a row, following a 3-1 failure against Villarreal, also away from home. The first loss wasn’t that painful due to a 4-0 victory in the first leg, but it left a bad impression and exposed many vulnerabilities in the back line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marseille is fantastic at home, not losing for the past 18 events and winning the previous four. During the most recent victorious streak, the former European champs scored 13 goals, beating Shakhtar 3-1, Montpellier 4-1, Villarreal 4-0, and Nantes 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
