Marseille forward Andre-Pierre Gignac has insisted that his side are confident about claiming a positive result against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.
Les Olympiens, who edged out Lens 2-1 last night, consolidated their place at the top of the Ligue 1 table with 28 points from 12 games.
Marseille are currently four points ahead of their nearest rivals PSG, and even a loss at Parc des Princes would enable Marcelo Bielsa’s side to remain atop the standings.
And Gignac, who admitted that the scenario will enable Marseille to play PSG without pressure, explained that his side are ready to face the French champions.
"We're going to Paris to take points”, Gignac explained to reporters when questioned about the upcoming Le Clasique.
