Ligue 1 2026-2027: Marseille vs. PSG, Probable Lineups

Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain face off at 8:45 p.m. in the big match of Ligue 1’s fifth matchday. Both powerhouses have had a rough start to the season: OM is coming off three straight losses and absolutely must bounce back at home. The French champions, on the other hand, secured their first win last round against Brest and are looking to pick up points to climb back toward the top of the standings.

Bruno Genesio is relying on the attacking trio of Harit, Gouiri, and Paixao up front, while in midfield Hojbjerg will be flanked by Gomes and Abdelli. The fullbacks will be Weah and Emerson.

Luis Enrique is expected to return to the attacking trio of Dembélé, Ferran Torres, and Kvaratskhelia; in midfield, Vitinha will partner with João Neves and Fabián Ruiz. Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will play on the wings.

Marseille vs. PSG: Probable Lineups
MARSEILLE (4-3-3): De Lange; T. Weah, Egan-Riley, Aguerd, Emerson; A. Gomes, Hojbjerg, Abdelli; Harit, Gouiri, Paixão.

“The Classique is a game unlike any other,” Luis Enrique explained at a press conference. “We want to earn the three points, but also play according to our principles, make the fans happy, and stay united. No Paris Saint-Germain player can take the Classique lightly. We know how important this match is for the players and the fans: we’ll be highly motivated, while at the same time trying to keep our emotions in check.”
