• Paris FC were only the fourth-highest scorers in Ligue 2 last term.
• Marseille recorded four 2-0 wins in 2024/25

Nice face improving Auxerre

Paris FC suffered a 1-0 defeat to Angers on their return to the top flight of French football after a 46-year absence and things don’t get much easier for them as they visit Marseille on Saturday.

The newly promoted side failed to score despite the fact that they had 17 shots and Angers played the last 30 minutes with ten men.

Marseille were similarly frustrated in their opener, losing 1-0 to the ten men of Rennes after conceding a 91st-minute winner.

Roberto De Zerbi’s men managed 24 shots in that game but only two of them were on target, demonstrating their struggles in front of goal.

Off the field issues have also flared up once again for OM, with Adrien Rabiot and former Norwich man Jonathan Rowe both reportedly put up for sale following a dressing room bust-up.

Nevertheless Marseille should have too much for this Paris side, who were only the fourth-highest scorers in the second tier last season.

Much of the visitors’ success last term was also based on their home form, they won just eight of their 17 road trips.

Side with Marseille to win this game to nil and make the class difference clear. The hosts recorded four 2-0 wins last season and could add to that tally.
