Coupe de France Classiques: Part 12!

We take a look at the classic encounters between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille ahead of Wednesday's Coupe de France tie.

There have been 102 competitive meetings between the two sides with only four clubs having taken on the Parisians more: Bordeaux (110 matches), Monaco (109 matches), Lyon (105 matches) and Nantes (104 matches). This will be the 12th Coupe de France tie between the duo.

In those 11 previous meetings, the Parisians have won 10 times (including the 2006 and 2016 finals), only getting knocked out in the Last 16 at the Parc des Princes (0-2, 28/04/1991).

In competitive games, the record is 46 wins, 23 draws and 33 defeats for Paris.

The last Coupe de France tie between them came in 2017/18 with the Parisians winning 3-0 at the Parc des Princes on 28 February 2018.

No other team has reached double figures in terms of Coupe de France ties against the Parisians.

Nantes, the holders, could potentially do this if they beat Angers on Wednesday, and Paris win at the Vélodrome.
