Paris SG vs Marseille Prediction & Betting tips
Paris Saint-Germain has now won the Trophée des Champions seven times in a row. Since 2009, this competition has always been held abroad – most recently twice in a row in China. Due to the special circumstances of the global pandemic, the teams will stay in France this year.
At the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens, the Parisians want to secure their eighth overall win in a row. According to the odds comparison of the betting base, the odds of the bookmakers clearly move towards the Parisiens in the run-up to the match between PSG and Marseille.
It will be the first major test for Tuchel’s successor Mauricio Pochettino in the third competitive game. With the Olympics, who are the reigning runner-up in this duel, Paris is facing a team that has only won one of its last five competitive games. However, Marseille celebrated a 1-0 away win at the Parc des Princes on the second matchday of Ligue 1.
We expect André Villas-Boas’ men to focus on their defense in the Trophée des Champions. If it is finally drawn after 90 minutes, the penalty shoot-out would decide. We therefore see the greatest value at PSG against Marseille in the tip on a maximum of three goals.
PSG :
As before, those responsible at Paris Saint-Germain are not quite sure how they should evaluate the 2020/21 season. One day before Christmas, the ripcord was finally pulled after a 4-0 home win over Strasbourg. Thomas Tuchel, the man who led the Parisiens to the Champions League final for the first time in club history, had to leave.
With Mauricio Pochettino, another shooting star among the coaches has landed in the most demanding position, in which defeats are sometimes unforgivable. The former Tottenham coach can win his first title directly in his third competitive game as a PSG coach.
But it is also clear that a bankruptcy against Marseille in the competition that “Les Rouge et Bleu” won seven times in a row would be a major setback.
The 48-year-old will have been all the more reassured that after the 1-1 draw on his debut against Saint-Étienne, the dress rehearsal on Saturday was successful.
The Parisiens defeated Stade Brest 3-0 in their first home game under his leadership, overtaking Lille in the Ligue 1 table. They are only one point behind leaders Lyon.
The new coach of the highly decorated club will really only be measured when the Champions League duels with the big FC Barcelona are due in February and March. But that he will win the Trophée des Champions by then and regain and expand the league lead in the league is a basic requirement.
Accordingly, there is pressure, while rumors of a Neymar or Mbappé change persist. This does not detract from the Parisiens’ favorite role.
Marseille:
Olympique Marseille has already achieved what Paris Saint-Germain would like so much: overall victory in the Champions League. The Phocéens also took part in the most important European competition for club teams this season as runner-up to which they were appointed by quotient regulation.
With little success, however. In the group with Manchester City, Porto and Olympiacos Piraeus, l’OM finished last with five defeats in six group games and a goal difference of 2:13.
The 2020/21 season began so promisingly for the footballers from the important European port city. A 3-2 away win in Brest was followed by a 1-0 win at arch-rivals PSG on matchday two, after which the fans certainly dreamed of finally being able to build on the previous championship in 2010.
There followed, however, four consecutive games without a win, which quickly brought the Olympics back down to earth. Even at the turn of the year it was anything but rosy. André Villas-Boas’s team has only won one of the last five games. At the dress rehearsal at the relegation-threatened Dijon FCO on Saturday they did not get beyond a goalless draw.
At least the defense was very good again in this game. In any case, the Phocéens only conceded 16 goals in 17 league games, which we expect in the Trophée des Champions with a focus on their own defense.
In our opinion, this clearly speaks in favor of placing the tip on a Super Cup with a maximum of three goals in regular time at PSG against Marseille. After all, there have not been more than two goals conceded at national level in the 2020/21 season for l’OM, which would also cover a result such as a narrow 1-2 or 0-2 defeat in this tip. In any case, it is clear that the Olympics, which last won the Trophée des Champions in 2011, are clearly outsiders.
