PSG vs Marseille: Prediction

Considering statistics, current form and head to head, PSG are no doubt the clear favourites in this game, they are way too far above Marseille. But Marseille are not a walk over team by any means. All facts are pointing to Blanc’s men as possible winners but the tables can turn.

I expect PSG to win this game inside the regulation 90 minutes, but my main prediction is on Zlatan Ibrahimović; I predict the big Swede to score in the game.
