Three points separate both sides in the league table.

Matchday nine of Ligue 1 will feature the biggest French football rivalry and match of all time, Le Classique. Olympique de Marseille will host Paris Saint Germain as they battle it out to win this massive fixture. Marseille are in great form right now as they have accumulated 17 points from their opening 8 matches.

PSG, on the other hand, are sitting at the summit of Ligue 1. They have 20 points to their name, with six wins and two draws. Along with Monaco, they are the only team in the French first division yet to taste defeat. After Kylian Mbappe left, many thought that the club would struggle, but thanks to the leadership of Luis Enrique, the team is still competing for the league title.

Le Classique is the most-watched French football game in the world. Both teams bring the best out of each other and we are likely to see a thrilling encounter when they lock horns.
