Marseille vs Monaco

Marseille are aiming to maintain the pressure on the front-runners as they host Monaco in a French League 1 clash on Sunday.

Both teams have shown flashes of quality this season, but the hosts are usually solid on home soil. They should get the better of the visitors, who have found things difficult on their recent travels.

Marseille News

Marseille can be pleased with their campaign so far as they sit third in the table, five points behind surprise leaders Lens. However, they were beaten 1-0 at Lille last time out in Ligue 1 but bounced back with a 3-2 victory at Union Saint-Gilloise in the UEFA Champions League.

Having been on the road in their last two matches, Marseille are back at the Stade Velodrome on Sunday. Roberto De Zerbi's team are unbeaten at home in the league this season, with a 1-0 victory over champions PSG among their results.

Mason Greenwood scored a brace at Union St Gilloise and has also found the net 10 times in the league this season. He leads a solid Marseille attack that has ensured five of their last six matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

Monaco News

It has not been the smoothest campaign for Monaco this season, sitting seventh in the table. Their recent form has been erratic, with just two wins in the last seven matches across all competitions. However, they did claim a 1-0 home victory over Galatasaray in the Champions League.

One of the recent problems for Monaco is a poor record on their travels, having failed to win their last three away matches. Sebastian Pocognoli's team have been beaten twice on this run and suffered a 1-0 defeat at Brest in their previous Ligue 1 fixture.

Monaco have some similarities to the hosts as they also adopt an open style of play. Six of their last nine matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Marseille and Monaco have five wins each, with two draws in the last 12 matches. Both teams won their home match last season, with the hosts claiming a 2-1 victory in the first meeting while the visitors triumphed 3-0 in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Marseille v Monaco

There are usually goals in this fixture, with five of the last six matches between Marseille and Monaco producing over 2.5 goals. Another open contest is expected here, and a similar outcome is on the cards.

Marseille are expected to claim the upper hand at home as Monaco have struggled on their recent travels. Greenwood was also on target in the home team's win last season and could be set to add to his 10 league goals this term.
