Match Details: January 31st, 2026 | Stade Jean Bouin | Ligue 1 | 16:00 (GMT)

France’s capital club welcomes Marseille to the Stade Jean-Bouin for a matchup that suddenly carries huge weight at both ends of the table. Paris FC has been a tough nut to crack lately, sitting 14th but riding the high of four points in two league games against Nantes and Angers and a shocking 1-0 French Cup upset over PSG. They’ll need that defensive grit to stop a Marseille side that is currently 3rd and looking lethal.
