Bennacer and Gouiri take on PSG before joining the Fennecs

Called up to the Algerian national team by Vladimir Pektovic for the 5th and 6th rounds of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Ismaël Bennacer and Amine Gouiri have a big challenge tonight against PSG before joining the Fennecs' training camp.

Paris Saint-Germain faces Olympique de Marseille this Sunday at 7:45 PM at Parc des Princes in a dream classic. This match is part of the 26th round of Ligue 1. In the first leg, the Parisian club dominated the game at the Vélodrome with a 3-0 victory. The Marseille club has the opportunity to strike back at its eternal rival tonight at the Parc.

OM can rely on Bennacer and Gouiri

After the debacle at the Vélodrome during the first classic, Olympique de Marseille strengthened its squad during the off-season. The Marseille club's management recruited, among others, Amine Gouiri, coming directly from OGC Nice, and Ismaël Bennacer from AC Milan. One a forward and the other a midfielder, they both serve as an offensive asset for OM to counter PSG's tactical schemes. This will be their very first classic in Ligue 1 history.

It's a crucial match in which Bennacer and Gouiri need to reinforce the trust that Roberto De Zerbi has placed in them. It should be noted that they will join the Algerian team gathering next week to play the 5th and 6th qualifying rounds for the 2026 World Cup.
