PARIS (AP) — Resurgent Marseille aims for a fourth straight Ligue 1 win when it travels to rock-bottom Metz on Saturday while high-flying Lyon also looks to maintain an impressive start.
Marseille’s win against defending champion Paris Saint-Germain last week seems to have galvanized coach Roberto De Zerbi’s side, which is playing the free-flowing soccer the club’s demanding fans want. He described Marseille’s scintillating first-half performance in Tuesday’s 4-0 win against Ajax in the Champions League as “close to perfection.”
After winning at Barcelona 2-1 on Wednesday, PSG faces a tough trip to Lille on Sunday.
