Paris Saint-Germain will host Marseille in a Ligue 1 fixture at Parc des Princes on Sunday night. Both sides were in action in the UEFA Champions League, in the mid-week. The hosts  played out a 1-1 draw against Benfica on Wednesday, while Marseille secured a 2-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon on the same day. PSG are currently occupying top spot in the French top flight standings, having collected 26 points from ten games, while the visitors are sitting three places behind them, with three points less.   

PSG shared the spoils against Benfica after Kylian Mbappe’s 39th-minute opener, from the penalty spot, was canceled out by Joao Mario, also from the penalty post, two minutes into the hour-mark. Despite the second consecutive draw against the Portuguese outfit, the Parisians are well on course to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. It was PSG’s third successive draw across all competitions. The reigning Ligue 1 champions are only one point clear of surprise package Lorient in the French top flight table. PSG have recorded eight wins and two draws from ten League 1 games this season, meanwhile four of those victories came in front of their home fans. 

Marseille, on the other hand, have recorded seven wins and two draws thus far. Their lone league defeat came against Ajaccio (2-1), last weekend. Although Dimitri Payet converted a 15th-minute penalty to give the lead to Marseille, the visistords equalised through Bevic Moussiti-Oke, ten minutes later. And then, two minutes into the second half, Leonardo Balerdi’s own goal helped Ajaccio take all three points. However, the Phocaeans quickly got their acts together to put two goals past Sporting Lisbon without reply, on Wednesday. First half goals from Matteo Guendouzi and Alexis Sanchez helped Marseille register their second Champions League win of the season.
