Marseille v PSG: Le Classique at CEPAC Vélodrome on September 20 in 2026-27 Ligue 1

Marseille host Paris Saint-Germain at the CEPAC Vélodrome on Sunday, September 20 (BST) in the first Le Classique of the 2026-27 Ligue 1 season. Paris Saint-Germain aim to extend their dominance in a high-profile Ligue 1 clash.

The hosts have endured a difficult start to the campaign, while Paris have also dropped points in their opening four league matches. Marseille arrive after a 4-1 defeat to Beşiktaş, and PSG’s most recent league outing was a 1-0 win over Brest. Marseille’s home advantage is noted as a factor that could make the match competitive.

The teams last met in February, when PSG recorded a 5-0 victory. Available Ligue 1 head-to-head data cited in the build-up gives PSG 28 wins to Marseille’s five, alongside six draws.

Across all competitions the two clubs have met 112 times, with PSG winning 53, Marseille 35 and 24 matches finishing level. In Ligue 1 specifically, the clubs have faced each other 93 times, with the Parisians winning 40 fixtures, Marseille 33 and 20 draws recorded.

Ousmane Dembélé has scored the opening goal in each of his last three matches against Marseille, doing so twice in Ligue 1 and once in the Trophée des Champions. Dembélé’s recent record against Marseille is highlighted in pre-match coverage.

Marseille’s top attacking form this season has come from Gouiri, who has scored four goals in four Ligue 1 appearances and leads the club’s scoring charts ahead of the fixture. For PSG, Torres has three goals in four Ligue 1 appearances and was on target in the 1-0 win over Brest; his movement through the centre of the attack is identified as important against Marseille’s defence.
