Recreation of the week: Olympique de Marseille v Paris Saint-Germain, Sunday 19:45 (UK)
These two sides come into this match with contrasting confidence. OM strategy the sport off the again of a 5-0 hammering of Montpellier. It was a sport during which Roberto De Zerbi’s facet regarded extra well-balanced. There have been loads of objectives, effectivity importantly, but additionally management within the midfield. Adrien Rabiot, beginning his first sport for OM since his transfer, made a giant distinction and regarded utterly comfy alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. That has the makings of a really robust partnership.
PSG, nevertheless, have been held to a draw in opposition to PSV in midweek. Questions are starting to be requested about this PSG facet, regardless of the current extension of Luis Enrique’s contract as supervisor. With out Kylian Mbappé, Thierry Henry believes that Les Parisiens lack “that little bit of magic“, while he has additionally questioned the youthfulness, in different phrases, the shortage of expertise on this facet. That’s seemingly costing them within the Champions League. However Mbappé’s absence may also be felt in Ligue 1; PSG are crying out for that clutch participant, that instinctive finisher, to bail them out. Bradley Barcola is at present Ligue 1’s high scorer, however his ending could be erratic and he was not speculated to be the participant to bear the burden of banging within the objectives. Luis Enrique’s indecision within the No.9 place is telling; no candidate has overwhelmingly satisfied and with no clear alternative on this place, PSG’s type in Europe is struggling.
It’s removed from doom and gloom on the Parc des Princes, however there’s not less than doubt. Marseille, with their spectacular attacking arsenal, definitely have the capability to take advantage of that, particularly at a Vélodrome that will likely be at boiling level with OM in a position to go high of Ligue 1, in the event that they beat PSG by a giant margin.
