PSG and Marseille record 3rd and 4th best attacks in Europe ahead of Le Classique – Get French Football News

According to a report from La Provence, after eight games Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille have recorded the third and fourth-best attacks across the top five European leagues.

PSG have recorded the third best with an average of 3.1 goals per game while Marseille have the fourth best with an average of 2.6 goals per game. Only Bayern Munich (3.4) and FC Barcelona (3.3) have better averages than the two Ligue 1 sides. 

It’s a statistic that suggests that this weekend’s clash between the two arch-rivals could be a free-scoring affair, as the best and second-best attack in France collides at the Stade Vélodrome. 

PSG travel to Marseille for Sunday’s Le Classique

Marseille will be hoping to end an unfortunate run in Le Classique that has seen them unable to defeat PSG at home since 2011, and in doing so bridge the three-point gap between them and Les Parisiens. While the capital club will be hoping to maintain their grip on the top of the Ligue 1 table.
