Génésio seeks consistency as Marseille, Paris clash in tricky tie.

Paris FC, meanwhile, have made an encouraging start under Liam Rosenior, remaining unbeaten after two matches with one victory [3-0 vs Nice] and one draw [0-0 vs Troyes]. Successive clean sheets have given the newly promoted side an excellent defensive platform, and another shutout here would see them begin a league campaign with three in succession for the first time since 2013/14, when they were competing in the third tier. Their away form provides further reason for optimism. Les Parisiens have lost only one of their last nine league matches on the road [2W, 6D, 1L], while Rosenior can also draw confidence from his personal managerial record against Génésio, having remained unbeaten across their three previous encounters [1W, 2D, 0L]. Emmanuel Mbemba, Otávio and Luca Koleosho are doubtful, while Jonathan Ikoné and Nhoa Sangui are unavailable through injury. Lassine Sinayoko is expected at the attacking end of a 4—2—3—1 formation against Marseille.

Olympique de Marseille vs Paris FC begins at 19:45 [GMT+1] on Sunday, September 6, at Stade Vélodrome. Marseille will look to make the most of home advantage when they welcome unbeaten Paris FC to the Stade Vélodrome on Saturday. Génésio has endured an indifferent beginning to his Les Phocéens reign, overseeing one win and one defeat, but the 4-0 dismantling of Strasbourg here on matchday one should provide confidence ahead of another home fixture. Les Olympiens have scored in 21 of their last 22 league home games and have won six of their last nine league matches at the Vélodrome [6W, 2D, 1L]. That record should offer encouragement after Marseille suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Monaco last weekend, their fifth loss in their last 10 top-flight outings [4W, 1D, 5L]. Four of those defeats have come on the road, highlighting the significant contrast between their home and away performances. Ahead of this fixture, Génésio has called for repeatable performance rather than occasional brilliant displays, saying, "We're working to achieve consistency across our matches, because that's what will bring us results." He will also relish facing Paris FC, having completed a league double over them last season while in charge of Lille. The visitors have won just one of their historical meetings with Marseille, drawing three and losing six [1W, 3D, 6L], although last season’s encounters provided plenty of entertainment, producing 11 goals. Geoffrey Kondogbia is unavailable after suffering a muscle injury against Monaco, while Tochukwu Nnadi is also ruled out with a potentially serious knee problem.  A 4—2—3—1 formation with Amine Gouiri leading the attacking line may be seen against Les Parisiens.
