During the previous seasons, Montpellier was not considered a team that can intervene in the fight for positions leading to Europe, but they were considered a fairly safe team that ends the season in the middle of the table without major problems. However, this is not the case this season. The Der Zakarian team is in a fight for survival and they have to completely change their game if they want to save themselves. With just four points after seven matches, this is the club's worst start since the 2015/16 season. The main factor behind this slow start has been their dismal defensive displays, having conceded 21 goals, the worst defensive record in Ligue 1 by a significant margin. Only in one of their seven matches have they managed to concede just a single goal, while in four games, they conceded at least three. There is no better situation in the attack and in 7 played games they scored only 8 goals. They have a lot of problems with injured players, so they will be without several very important players in this match as well. After a chaotic last season that saw four different coaches at the helm and the team failing to qualify for even the Conference League, Marseille plays brilliantly under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian coach is known for instilling attractive attacking football in his teams, and he hasn't changed that style of play even in Marseille. They had a great start to the season, but in the last two games they didn't really impress their fans and PSG got 6 points ahead. In those two mentioned games, they managed to win only 1 point and what is perhaps even more worrying, they scored only 1 goal. There is no doubt that they are a much better team than today's hosts, but they have to prove it on the field. With Marseille's attack in possession and Montpellier's defense shaky, this looks to be the ideal match for the visitors to restart and prevent PSG from gaining an elusive lead.

在之前的几个赛季里，蒙彼利埃并没有被认为是一支能够参与争夺欧洲联赛席位的球队，但他们被认为是一支相当安全的球队，在没有重大问题的情况下以积分榜中游结束赛季。然而，这个赛季的情况并非如此。Der Zakarian团队正在为生存而战，如果他们想要拯救自己，他们必须彻底改变他们的游戏方式。7场比赛只拿到4分，这是俱乐部自2015/16赛季以来最差的开局。这个缓慢的开局背后的主要原因是他们糟糕的防守表现，丢了21球，是法甲最糟糕的防守记录。他们在七场比赛中只有一场比赛只丢了一个球，而在四场比赛中，他们至少丢了三个球。进攻方面没有比这更好的了，在7场比赛中，他们只进了8个球。他们有很多球员受伤的问题，所以他们在这场比赛中也会失去一些非常重要的球员。在经历了上个赛季的混乱之后，马赛在罗伯托·德泽比的带领下表现出色。这位意大利教练以在他的球队中灌输有吸引力的进攻足球而闻名，即使在马赛，他也没有改变这种比赛风格。他们本赛季开局不错，但在最后两场比赛中，他们并没有给球迷留下深刻的印象，巴黎圣日耳曼领先了6分。在上述两场比赛中，他们只赢了1分，更令人担忧的是，他们只进了1球。毫无疑问，他们比今天的东道主要好得多，但他们必须在球场上证明这一点。在马赛的进攻和蒙彼利埃的防守不稳定的情况下，这场比赛看起来是客队重新开始并阻止巴黎圣日耳曼取得难以捉摸的领先优势的理想比赛。
