11th September – 21:00, Stade Louis II, Monaco
The clash between Monaco and Marseille will close Saturday’s action in the Ligue 1 5th round. The hosts search for an improvement and a steep climb toward the top three, while the away side wants to book another victory.
Monaco vs Marseille Match Preview & Team News
The home side cannot be happy with their performances so far, as they booked only one win in the first four rounds. Besides that, Niko Kovac’s team was unfortunate to lose in the Champions league Quals playoffs due to an own goal in the extra time. Monaco still searches for its first victory at the home ground after picking just a point from two matches. Nantes got back home with a 1:1 draw, while they lost to Lens 2:0 in the latest game at Stade Louis II. However, Wissam Ben Yedder and the lads celebrated against Troyes on the road just before the international break. The hosts hope they can pick up where they left off this Saturday evening.
Marseille had a strong start, as they picked seven points from three games. However, their latest clash against Nice was interrupted due to riots in which the away side’s players and staff were involved. As a result, L’OM will need to face Monaco without suspended Dimitri Payet and Alvaro Gonzalez. It will be a major setback for Jorge Sampaoli’s side, which wants to find the way to the top three at the end of the season. Cengiz Under has been in great form, as he has scored three times so far. On the other hand, Marseille should tighten its defense, which already conceded five times. However, they face a tough challenge in Monaco, where they lost twice in a row.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
We anticipate another exciting match here, as both sides will search for a victory. Monaco had two weeks to consolidate, while the visitors had enough time to cool off their heads. We’ll see how L’OM will handle Payet’s absence, and Monaco could take advantage of that to book an important victory.
Goals Market Prediction
Their recent head-to-head clashes in Monaco have been a joy to watch. Seven straight clashes went over a 2.5 margin, and in five of them, we saw at least four goals. Marseille failed to score in just one of them during that run, and we don’t think the nets will remain still in this one.
