Preview
It’s difficult to overstate just how dominant PSG have been in Ligue 1 play to start the season.
Through 10 matches, The Parisians have 10 wins and a goal differential of 37-6. They’ve yet to score less than three in a single match, and they’ve had five hit the back of the net in two straight.
They have an embarrassment of riches up front. Neymar is doing Neymar things with eight goals and three assists in eight matches. Kylian Mbappe has shown zero signs of a World Cup hangover, piling up nine goals and three assists in just six appearances (five starts). Edinson Cavani has picked up five goals in seven matches. Angel Di Maria has three goals and five assists. Even 19-year-old Moussa Diaby, in just 280 minutes, has found the time to rack up two goals and three assists.
PSG has so far run rampant through everyone standing in their way of a potential second-straight Ligue 1 title, but Sunday will mark their most difficult test to date.
Marseille stands at 6-1-3 with a plus-6 (22-16) goal differential in Ligue 1, good for fourth on the table, but they’ve been especially tough at the Stade Velodrome, where they have four wins, one draw and a dominant 15-4 goal differential in five matches thus far.
Last year’s Europa League runners-up also have a good blend of attacking options. Dimitri Payet has four goals, five assists and a league-best 36 key passes in 10 appearances, while Florian Thauvin has racked up seven goals, trailing only Mbappe and Neymar. Morgan Sanson has also been quite good with two goals and two assists.
Put it all together, and you have the top two scoring teams in the league battling it out in a heated rivalry game. In other words, Le Classique should have no problem living up to its name on Sunday.
