- PSG has won 3 of the last 5 H2Hs against Marseille.
Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain meet at the CEPAC Vélodrome on September 20, 2026, with kickoff set for 2:45 p.m. ET. Both teams have made slow starts to the Ligue 1 season, making this Matchday 5 clash an important opportunity to gain ground in the table.
PSG enters the weekend in eighth place with five points from four matches, including just one league win. Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia headline a PSG attack that will look to build on last weekend’s 1-0 win at Brest.
Marseille sits 13th with three points after four games and has lost its last three league matches. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg will be one of the key players in midfield as Marseille looks to contain PSG and end its losing streak.
Here are my Marseille vs Paris Saint-Germain picks, including the moneyline, handicap and total-goals markets.

Recent Marseille vs PSG Head-to-Head History
PSG has won three of the last five meetings in regulation, while Marseille has one win and the teams drew 2-2 in January 2026. PSG won that match on penalties in the Trophée des Champions.
Handicap Pick: PSG -1.5 (+100 at Kalshi)
My handicap pick is PSG -1.5 (+100), with the visitors needing to win by at least two goals.
PSG has won three of the last five meetings in regulation, with those victories coming by margins of three, two and five goals. That recent head-to-head record provides support for the visitors to win by multiple goals again.
Marseille has lost three of its first four Ligue 1 matches this season, while PSG is averaging 6.50 shots on target per game compared with 4.75 for Marseille. The visitors also average 17.25 total shots per game, more than five above Marseille’s 12.00.

Total Goals Pick: Under 3.5 (-108 at Polymarket)
My total-goals pick is Under 3.5 at -108 on Polymarket.
Both teams are averaging 3.0 combined goals per game through four Ligue 1 matches. The Under 3.5 has also hit in two of the last five meetings between these teams, although the recent head-to-head results have produced mixed scoring totals.
PSG’s attacking numbers give the visitors an edge, but Marseille does not need to score much for the Under to cash. A 2-0 or 2-1 PSG win would cash both of these picks.
