Monaco

LLWWWL

Since a loss in their previous game against Benfica in Champions League competition, Monaco and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Monaco had 46% possession and 11 shots on goal with 5 on target. For Monaco, the goals were scored by Eliesse Ben Seghir (13') and Soungoutou Magassa (67'). For their opponents, Benfica had 18 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Vangelis Pavlidis (48'), Arthur Cabral (84') and Zeki Amdouni (88') scored for Benfica.

The numbers tell their own story, and Monaco have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals in all. In defence, Monaco seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly.

Their prior results show that Monaco:

• have not won against Marseille when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.
• remain unbeaten by Marseille when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.

ℹ️ Team News: Marseille

Rubén Blanco (Ankle injury), Faris Moumbagna (Cruciate ligament tear) and Valentín Carboni (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be able to play for Marseille gaffer Roberto De Zerbi.

It seems likely that Les Olympiens may well make use of the 4-3-3 system for this game and select Geronimo Rulli, Michael Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Quentin Merlin, Valentin Rongier, P. Hoejbjerg, Adrien Rabiot, Mason Greenwood, Neal Maupay and Luis Henrique.

🗞️ Team News: Monaco

Monaco boss Adi Hütter has multiple availability issues to deal with. Edan Diop (Foot injury) and Folarin Balogun (Shoulder injury) miss out here.

We are inclined to think that Les Rouge et Blanc could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Radoslaw Majecki, Vanderson, Thilo Kehrer, Mohammed Salisu, Caio Henrique, Soungoutou Magassa, Denis Zakaria, Maghnes Akliouche, Eliesse Ben Seghir, Aleksandr Golovin and Breel Embolo.

💭 Prediction

It’s looking like Monaco and Marseille may well both score at least one goal each although picking a clear a winner isn’t easy.

An eventful draw is therefore a real possibility, and we are expecting it to be very tight. We therefore see a 2-2 score at the end of the 90.
