Marseille vs Monaco Predictions

• Both teams have scored in four of Marseille’s last five games.
• Both teams have scored in five of Monaco’s last six.
• Monaco won the reverse fixture 3-2 in September.

Expect fireworks at the Velodrome

Marseille have some work to do if they are to secure European football ahead of the visit of Monaco on Saturday.

The away side currently sit fourth in Ligue 1, the Champions League play-off spot, but they are only five points clear of L’OM in seventh.

A win would be huge for either side, and after these two French giants produced a five-goal thriller at the Stade Louis II earlier in the season – with Monaco winning 3-2 – we could be in line for another entertaining affair.

Both teams to score is the main bet as both are in good scoring form. Both teams have scored in four of Marseille’s last five games and their only clean sheet in their last six has come in a cup tie with fifth tier outfit Thionville. Monaco have seen both teams score in five of their last six games and they have just one clean sheet in their last eight.

Monaco won the reverse fixture but Marseille are yet to be beaten at home in any competition. Les Rouge et Blanc have only lost twice away, at top five rivals PSG and Lille, so there is a good chance this game could finish honours even and a 2-2 draw appeals – as Monaco average just under two goals per-game overall and L’OM average 1.7 at home.

Visiting striker Wissam Ben Yedder is the standout scorer pick as he is in fine form. Ben Yedder has scored in each of his last four appearances, hitting seven goals in total, and he will be on spot kick duties.
