Marseille’s Vélodrome Fortress: OM Outscores European Giants as PSG Looms
MARSEILLE, FRANCE – Olympique de Marseille (OM) enters Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) boasting the most potent home attack in Europe as the start of 2025. Roberto de Zerbi’s squad has netted an remarkable 41 goals at the Vélodrome, surpassing Bayern Munich (37 goals) and FC Barcelona (32 goals), according to recent data from Meteofootmaps.
OM recently secured a win against Lorient at the Vélodrome, providing a positive showing for De Zerbi’s new recruits. The upcoming match against PSG presents a important challenge, especially given Marseille’s historical struggles against the reigning champions.
However, PSG may be entering the contest with concerns of their own. Key players Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé are already sidelined due to injuries sustained in planning for upcoming Champions league fixtures. Further injuries to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-in during Sunday’s Ligue 1 match against RC Lens could further deplete Luis Enrique’s squad, potentially impacting their energy levels ahead of the trip to Marseille.Despite these challenges, Enrique is expected to devise a tactical strategy to counter OM’s formidable attack.
