On February 8, Vélodrome Stadium (Marseille) will host the 1/8 final match of the Coupe de France, in which Marseille will compete with PSG. The battle will start at 21:10 CET.

Marseille

The team has the status of the vice-champion of the country. Nevertheless, the management said scandalous goodbye to Jorge Sampaoli, the coach who had achieved the higher mentioned result, in the summer. He was replaced by Igor Tudor, who had to spend time and effort to get comfortable in the new country and in the new championship. That process resulted for “the Provencals” in a number of failures. Still, Olympique had almost perfect statistics in the winter. A series of victories was interrupted only by Monaco – the team managed to reach a draw at the same stadium. Then, it won the match against Nantes, but lost to Nice with a 1-3 score, despite the goal of the winter newcomer, Malinovsky. Also, Rennes was overcome within the Coupe de France – Guendouzi scored the only goal in that battle on January 20.

PSG

The club, by and large, has not demonstrated its real power, at least at the inner arena, in the current season yet. Being under the rule of the current mentor, Christophe Galtier, the team finished the calendar year of 2022 without a single defeat in all tournaments. Still, after New Year and, that is more important, after the World Cup, where many players spent a lot of time with different results, the statistics of “the Parisians” faded in a pretty noticeable way. They managed to lose the away matches to Lens and Rennes, did not win a home one against Reims. Moreover, the grandee conceded goals in the games with Montpellier and Toulouse. At least with these two opponents, it was possible to achieve victories, bringing the next title within the Ligue 1 closer. Although, to tell the truth, almost no one thinks about it seriously.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Taking into account 5 previous head-to-head matches, Marseille was unbeaten only once – that was a goalless home draw against PSG in October of the last but one year. PSG won again in the previous autumn, albeit with a modest 1-0 score.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe that PSG will still be able to win. At the same time, it, being a super-class ream, plays without maximum concentration. Thus, we expect a spectacular game at Vélodrome Stadium, which will result in “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.77).
