The upcoming match between Marseille and PSG, known as the Le Classique, promises to be a highly anticipated fixture. The clash will take place at the CEPAC Velodrome in Marseille on Sunday, September 20th, with a scheduled kickoff time of 7:45pm BST.
Marseille will enter the game under the guidance of manager Bruno Génésio, following a disappointing loss to Beşiktaş in European competition. The team will be without key midfield player Tochukwu Nnadi, who is recovering from a long-term knee injury, and experienced midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia, who is also sidelined. This absence leaves Génésio with the task of adapting his usual lineup, with Nayef Aguerd and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg expected to anchor the defense, while Amine Gouiri and Igor Paixão are tasked with leading the attack.
PSG, on the other hand, comes into the game in high spirits, boasting an unbeaten run of three wins in all competitions. However, they will be without their star right-back Achraf Hakimi, who is likely to be sidelined with a right thigh strain. The team will be reliant on the defense provided by Marquinhos and Willian Pacho, while Matvey Safonov will be in goal.
Despite the loss of Hakimi, PSG's attacking lineup remains strong, with Ousmane Dembélé and Ferran Torres set to lead the charge, supported by the midfield duo of João Neves and Vitinha.
