Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille will lock horns for the French Super Cup at the Bollaert-Delelis in Lens on Wednesday. The kick-off is at 21:00 CET.

Preview

Mauricio Pochettino started off his reign at the helm of PSG with a 1-1 draw at Saint-Etienne before defeating Brest 3-0 over the weekend. The Argentine's third game in charge of the Parisians will provide him with an opportunity to claim his first-ever trophy as a head coach - something he's failed to do since taking over at Espanyol in 2009.

Marseille also began the new year with a 3-1 win over Montpellier and a goalless draw at Dijon on Saturday. Andre Villas-Boas' men haven't been at their best of late as they've endured a run of just two wins in their last six games in the Ligue 1.

While Neymar could make an injury return on Wednesday, Rafinha and Thilo Kehrer are unavailable for PSG after contracting Covid-19.

Marseille's Luis Henrique is also out after receiving a positive coronavirus test while Morgan Sanson is a major doubt due to a hamstring problem.

Prediction

Let's be clear from the start, Paris Saint-Germain are obvious favourites to win this encounter. Villas-Boas' men earned the right to play in this one by finishing second in the league last term while PSG claimed the domestic double. Considering Marseille's form of late, there's little chance of the Parisians losing on Wednesday. Nevertheless, you can never dub Le Classique a foregone conclusion, especially after Marseille's league win at Parc des Princes in August.
