PSG vs MAR Dream11 Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain will hope to put the opening day defeat behind them as they welcome Olympique de Marseille to Parc des Princes on Sunday night. PSG suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Lens in their first game of the season, whereas Marseille marked their return to action with a 3-2 win over Brest. Defeat to Lens ended a run of 15 games unbeaten in the French top flight for the champions, who also failed to score in a league match for the first time in nearly a year, but Tuchel insisted that his side were never likely to come up trumps given their disturbed summer. Meanwhile, Marseille were also feeling the impact of the pandemic as they suffered an outbreak of their own before taking to the pitch for the new season. However, Andre Villas-Boas’s side still managed to come out on top against Brest in their first game of the campaign, but Marseille were certainly made to work for their 3-2 victory a fortnight ago.

Who will win PSG vs MAR Today Match Prediction Football
