Betting Tips for Today: PSG to shade a high-scoring clash in Marseille

The highlight of the Ligue 1 weekend sees Marseille host runaway leaders Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday evening.

888Sport are expecting the home side to have a tough time despite winning each of their last two league games. The online bookmaker are 9/2 (5.50) on a Marseille win, reflecting just how much of a tough task Rudi Garcia's men have on their hands.

Marseille haven't won any of their last 17 head-to-head games against PSG in all competitions, only avoiding defeat in three of those.

The visitors have been unstoppable domestically this term. The reigning champions are a perfect 10 wins from 10 games so far and they're just 1/2 (1.50) to extend that run. A draw is priced at 19/5 (4.80) with 888Sport.

For most punters this will be a case of trying to find a more palatable price on the visitors and there are a couple of options which look attractive.

Not only have PSG won each of their matches so far, but each of those victories has covered the -1 handicap and it's 11/10 (2.10) that the visitors come out on top by at least a two-goal margin at the Stade Velodrome.

This game presents arguably their toughest test of the season so far though and as a result there's a bigger priced alternative that could pay dividends.

Marseille have scored in in 36 of their last 37 home Ligue 1 games. Siding with the hosts to find the back of the net looks the way to go, even if it's ultimately in defeat.

A PSG win where both teams score is priced at 8/5 (2.60) and it's a selection that's paid out in three of their four away games this season.

All of those came against teams who are currently in the bottom half of the table and Marseille should be able to test the champions' defence given their scoring streak.
