PSG vs Marseille: Prediction, date, kick off time, potential line up, where to watch Lionel Messi's match

In the last 16 of the Coupe de France, Lionel Messi's Paris Saint-Germain will aim to defeat Marseille in Le Classique on Wednesday. Marseille enters the match following a 3-1 defeat by Nice, ending their 10-match undefeated streak. They progressed to the last 16 by winning 2-0 against Hyeres and narrowly defeating Rennes. The team has not won the competition since 1989 and hopes for an upset to continue their journey.

Despite missing two of their star players, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, PSG still managed to secure a 3-1 victory against Toulouse. The win was largely due to the outstanding performances of some of their key players – Defender Achraf Hakimi, who recently joined the club, opened the scoring with a spectacular goal that demonstrated his speed and dribbling ability. Then, Lionel Messi, who is widely considered one of the greatest footballers of all time, added a second goal with a display of his exceptional talent and technique. Lastly, forward Warren Zaire-Emery sealed the victory with a well-placed shot that beat the Toulouse keeper.
