Marseille vs AS Monaco Analysis
Marseille Preview
It has been a tricky season to this point for the Olympique Marseille, and they face a testing assignment to finish in the Champions League positions in 2023-24. They come into this match on the Marseille schedule sitting seventh, which means that they are trailing third-place Brest by six points.
Marseille at least have some solid recent results behind them, as the Ligue 1 team stats show that they have gone five without defeat. However, wins have been harder to achieve in recent outings after playing out draws in their last two.
Their season reached a new low over the last weekend, as the Rennes knocked them out in the French Cup. Marseille went 1-0 up inside the opening 29 minutes, but they conceded early in the second half before losing on penalties.
The French side were outplayed throughout that French Cup tie, as they mustered just two shots on target. A much better performance will be required against Monaco in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
AS Monaco Preview
The AS Monaco will take positives from their displays in the league to this point, and they are very much in the mix to finish in a Champions League spot. However, the Monaco scores have taken a hit in recent weeks after losing two of their last three.
That run of defeats has seen them drop to fourth in the standings, and only a victory this weekend could see them end the round in the Champions League spots. But, they got their campaign back on track with a commanding victory in the French Cup on Saturday.
The Ligue 1 player stats indicate that Wissam Ben Yedder has been one of the in-form players this term, and his productivity in front of goal continued over the weekend by netting a hat-trick in a 3-1 success at Rodez.
However, getting their league campaign back on track is now the big challenge awaiting Monaco, but this could be a good fixture against an opponent that they have already landed maximum points against this term.
Marseille vs AS Monaco Head to Head
The head-to-head record makes for important reading before making a Marseille vs Monaco prediction. The visitors landed success in the first meeting between the sides this term, while Marseille are without a home win against Monaco since January 2021.
