PSG v OM Classique expected to receive highest risk rating, Marseille fans barred | OneFootball

The PSG v OM Classique at the Parc des Princes on Sunday night is on course to be classified at the highest risk level by the Division nationale de la lutte contre le hooliganisme.

L'Équipe reports that the Ligue 1 match, scheduled for 20:45, is expected to be rated level five out of five during final security preparations in the coming days. The move comes as no surprise.

On the most recent public scale, that level reflects serious risks to public order that call for exceptional measures.

Marseille supporters are barred from travelling, mirroring restrictions applied last weekend at Jean-Bouin for PFC-OM, which ended 2-2.

PSG fans were similarly prevented from travelling for the reverse league meeting at the Vélodrome.
