Team News

Paris Saint Germain
  • Ancelotti has a few decisions to make, his last team selection went against him so playing against Marseille the decision is critical.
  • First of all does he play 4-2-3-1 or his favoured 4-3-2-1. Against Marseille at home he is more likely to go with 4 attackers.
  • Expect Nene to come back into the side as well as defenders Mamadou Sakho, Alex and Maxwell.
  • Momo Sissoko’s place would have been questioned but after being made captain last week it seems he is one of Carlo’s favourites. Expect Mathieu Bodmer to drop to the bench.
  • After missing the cup defeat to Lyon, Clement Chantome will go to Doha, Qatar to undergo treatment on his hip injury.
Marseille
  • After being substituted against Bayern in the Champions League Loic Remy has returned to training this week and should be ok for the weekend.
  • Souleymane Diawara will miss the rest of the season after picking up an injury recently.
  • Nicolas Nkoulou is out as he has been suspended for two more games.

Prediction

  • Sunday in the Parc des Princes will be the 78th Classico. Marseille lead the way with 32 wins with PSG six wins behind on 26.
  • At the Parc des Princes the home side have only lost 10 times. The last home defeat came in 2010 when Marseille gave a fantastic performance in an amazing 3-0 win. Hatem Ben Arfa, Lucho Gonzalez and Benoit Cheyrou with the goals.
  • Now with Montpellier having a game in hand and Lille breathing down their neck this game is not just about revenge for the 3-0 defeat earlier in the season, this is about PSG not collapsing in the title race and bringing the title back to the Parc des Princes.
  • For Marseille the league season is all but over. However the OM fans will not want their team to hand PSG the title.
