Marseille vs AS Monaco Preview

Marseille

Marseille, who are on a decent run of late, having won three out of their last five matches, will want to make it four in six when they take on AS Monaco in a Ligue 1 encounter at home on Sunday.

The two teams are known to harbour a lot of animosity against each other, and it will be exciting to see how intense the players get in this match. Marseille will have the home advantage to bank upon, but they will be keen on improving and showcasing their potential with tangible results. 

They are ranked third in the league table with 23 points at the moment, having won seven out of the 12 matches they have played so far. 

Marseille like to play with a three-man backline, with five midfielders and two strikers. This will entice the Monaco attackers to create space on the wings, but long balls will have to be dealt with more carefully.

AS Monaco

Monaco will have a big challenge on their hands when they take on Marseille in this match. They are ranked in the second position of the Ligue 1 table at the moment with 26 points, which means that this game will be a battle between equals. 

They have just a couple of injuries in their side – Edan Diop and Krepin Diatta – which means that they should be able to select their best starting XI in this game. Monaco’s wingers Ben Seghir and Akliouche play vital roles for their side and are often known to drop deep to collect the ball and then recycle it for their attackers to use. 

Their wingers also get inverted on the odd occasion to make sure that their fullbacks use the space and speed up to supply balls directly to their striker Breel Embolo. This tactic is usually adopted by them when they feel that the going has got tough and an opponent’s defence seems hard to breach.

Marseille vs AS Monaco Prediction

• Pick: Both teams to score
• Odds: 1.46 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Marseille 2-2 Monaco

Both Marseille and Monaco are nicely balanced and matched with each other, which means that it will be quite challenging to pick out a winner. 

However, it is clear that both teams will get on the scoresheet comfortably. What strengthens this feeling is the fact that the last four matches between Marseille and Monaco have seen both teams get on the scoresheet, and we expect this match to end up the same way as well. 

Marseille like to attack anyway thanks to their five-man midfield but even Monaco will wish to do the same by asking their wingers to adopt a more naturally aggressive position.

Marseille vs AS Monaco Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Total over 2.5
• Odds: 1.5 (22Bet)

We expect a total of over 2.5 goals in this game, given that both sides are known to have an attacking instinct and punish their opponents’ mistakes with ruthlessness. 

Monaco have won thirteen of the 27 games played between these two teams in the past, while Marseille have won just seven. The other seven matches were drawn encounters. 

Two of the last five encounters between these two teams have also ended in draws, which means that there is a high probability of this happening here as well. 

Monaco, however, have won three out of their last four matches, which will give them a lot of confidence in repeating their exploits.
