OM vs PSG: predicted lineup
This Sunday evening, Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain meet for a high-stakes Classique at the Vélodrome.
The Marseillais, led by Roberto De Zerbi, are aiming for a historic victory to finally overcome their great rival and assert their ambitions in the title race. For PSG, this clash is an opportunity to widen a crucial gap in the standings and reinforce their national supremacy. This Classique hasn’t generated this level of anticipation in years: Olympique de Marseille, often left behind by Paris, has the assets this season to play a major role in Ligue 1. De Zerbi’s team, a serious contender against Paris, is eager to prove their strength this Sunday night.
To succeed, Marseille will have to break a long streak of defeats: they haven’t beaten PSG at home in the league for thirteen years. A victory would not only end this run but also reinforce OM’s position in the title race.
For Paris, a victory would be a turning point, allowing them to take a six-point lead and strengthen their dominance. This showdown at the Vélodrome is shaping up to be pivotal for the season ahead. On PSG’s side, Luis Enrique might opt for stability, with Kolo Muani expected up front alongside Dembélé and Barcola, and Vitinha, Neves, and Zaïre Emery in midfield.

OM: Rulli – Murillo, Balerdi, Kondogbia (or Cornelius), Brassier (or Garcia) – Harit, Hojbjerg, Rabiot – Greenwood, Wahi, Luis Henrique
