Marseille vs PSG: How to Watch, Team News, and Preview of Le Classique

The highly anticipated Ligue 1 match between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain, known as Le Classique, is set to take place on Sunday, October 27, 2024. The match will kick off at 3:45 PM ET (12:45 PM PT) at the Stade Orange Velodrome in Marseille, France.

Marseille, currently ranked third in Ligue 1, aims to pull level on points with PSG, who are in second place. Marseille comes into the match with confidence, having secured a 5-1 victory over Brest and an impressive performance against Montpellier. PSG, however, is looking to bounce back from a recent two-goal defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League, although they managed a draw against PSV Eindhoven in their last Champions League match.

Team news indicates that Marseille might have left-back Quentin Merlin back in the lineup after recovering from a thigh injury, but they will be without midfielder Valentin Carboni for the rest of the season due to a serious cruciate ligament injury. PSG is dealing with several key absences, including forward Goncalo Ramos with an ankle injury and defender Lucas Hernandez out since May with a cruciate ligament injury. Presnel Kimpembe is also unavailable due to a muscle strain.
