You have to stop calling it the “classic”. The clashes between PSG and OM have never been so unbalanced since the successful OPA of Qatar on the Parisian club almost 14 years ago. OM no longer exists on the national scene. No title of champion, nor of the Coupe de France have come to enrich the trophy room since 2010. And at the same time, the Provençal club has accumulated defeats against the wealthy PSG, 25 since November 2011, all competitions combined!
Sunday evening, on the occasion of the 26th day of Ligue 1 and this new PSG-OM, the trend is clearly leaning for a 26th Provencal setback. OM remains on a defeat conceded at home eight days ago against Racing Club of Lens (0-1, 25th d.), The second on the last three championship matches, after the slap received in Auxerre on February 22 (3-0). For its part, the formation of Luis Enrique created the feeling Tuesday evening by eliminating Liverpool in the 8th finals of the Champions League (0-1, 1 tab at 4).
The obsolete Zerbi tactics?
League 1 leader with 16 points ahead of the Marseille dolphin, PSG has above all the advantage of a game much more effective than that of OM. De Zerbi players have most of the time foot on the ball but do not do much. It was seen against Lens. The tactics “handball” seems to have its limits and well studied by opponents.
Beyond the risk of undergoing a new rout, as in the first leg game (0-3, 9th day), Leonardo Balerdi and his teammates could compromise the end of the season. A third setback in four championship games could destabilize the collective in the quest for the top 3, synonymous with direct tickets for the next Champions League.
