Unai Emery should have something to shout about at the Parc des Princes this evening

"Against other top four teams this season, Marseille have lost 6-1 at Monaco and 2-0 at Lyon"

One of the biggest games in French football takes place today and Tobias Gourlay only sees it going one way

After Eibar fell to Celta Vigo in Spain yesterday lunchtime, Werder Bremen redeemed us with a 1-0 win over Hamburg in Germany. Another win in France today and we'll finish the week in the sweet clover of profit.

One of the weekend's biggest matches takes place in the French capital tonight as Ligue 1 leaders Paris St-Germain host third-placed Marseille. PSG are a perfect W13-D0-L0 at the Parc des Princes, having scored more than five goals for every one they've conceded (F51 A9). This fixture finished goalless last term, when PSG failed to win the title for the first time in five seasons. It was also the first time in five seasons that PSG hadn't won this fixture.

Back to the present and we fancy Unai Emery's men to go a long way to regaining their crown with a comfortable win this evening. Rudi Garcia's visitors are a modest W4-D4-L1 on the road recently. Against other top four teams this season, OM have lost 6-1 at Monaco and 2-0 at Lyon.

Meanwhile, PSG have scored at least three times in 10/13 this term and covered a -1.5-goal handicap every single time. Their results hosting other teams now in the top 10 read 2-0, 6-2, 3-0, 4-1, 4-0. We're backing them to add another impressive win to that tally this evening.
