The Classique between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain takes place on Sunday evening at the Vélodrome, closing out Matchday 5 of Ligue 1. The clash comes amid a marked imbalance between the two rivals.

PSG, not yet fully settled at the start of the season by their own standards, nevertheless sits atop European football for the past two years. OM, for its part, approaches this fixture in diminished form, which somewhat tempers the usual intensity of the fixture on the sporting front.

The matchday also features two other top-tier encounters: Monaco host Lens, while Lyon welcome Rennes.
