Money line (ML)
“LEAN” on PSG (-165) as the better value.
Whenever you can get the team that’s easily the most talented in the league for under -200, it’s a smart play. PSG hasn’t clicked as well as many had hoped, but it still has just one loss and zero draws across ten matches.
With F Kylian Mbappe looking likely to play and M Georginio Wijnaldum as an option as well, PSG will have the talent to press Marseille. Betting on PSG is an easy one given it’s level of talent all across the pitch.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the OVER 3.5 (+115) as the best value. The combined attack of the two teams should be enough to produce many goals and this bet provides great value at plus money.
PSG has scored at least 2 goals in 22 of its last 24 matches against Marseille, according to whoscored.com.
Can Marseille contribute? Marseille has scored at least 2 goals in its last 6 home games, and against a relatively soft PSG defense, there’s no reason Marseille can’t break through multiple times.
The OVER 3.5 (+115) is the best play as the two teams have combined for 42 goals in 19 matches.
