LIVE! Marseille vs. Paris FC in Ligue 1 on beIN SPORTS
The Orange Vélodrome hosts one of the most intriguing matches of the weekend. Marseille returns home looking to bounce back after a 2-0 defeat to Monaco, while Paris FC arrives in Marseille full of confidence after securing its first victory of the season.
The Parisian side is coming off a 3-0 victory over OGC Nice at the Stade Jean Bouin, a result that lifted them to four points from their opening two matches. Now they face a much tougher test against a Marseille side looking to take advantage of its home support and make up ground in the standings.
Marseille Looks to Make the Vélodrome a Fortress
Marseille has experienced two completely different sides to its start to the season. The team opened its campaign at home with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Strasbourg, but then suffered a 2-0 away defeat to Monaco.
That makes the return to the Orange Vélodrome potentially crucial. Igor Paixão, voted the club’s best player for August, is one of the names to watch for a team that needs to quickly rediscover consistency.
Marseille enters the match with three points and knows that dropping more points could see it fall behind the early leaders in Ligue 1.
Paris FC Arrives Full of Confidence After Rout of Nice
The outlook is different for Paris FC. After beginning the season with a 2-2 draw against Troyes, the team earned an emphatic 3-0 victory over OGC Nice on Matchday 2.
That result confirmed the strong start made by Paris FC, which has collected four points and will now look to prove it can also compete in one of the most challenging venues in French soccer.
There is also a recent precedent that suggests goals could be on the way. Last season, Marseille won 5-2 at the Vélodrome, while the second meeting ended in a 2-2 draw in Paris. In the overall head-to-head record, Marseille has six victories, three draws and just one defeat in 10 meetings.
An Important Match for Both Teams
Although the season is only just beginning, this match could provide an early indication of both teams’ ambitions. Marseille needs to respond after its first defeat and once again demonstrate the home strength it showed on the opening matchday.
Paris FC, meanwhile, arrives under less pressure and with an opportunity to secure an important result on the road. After routing Nice, taking points from the Vélodrome would be another encouraging sign at the start of the campaign.
