- Venue: Stade Louis II (Monaco)
Both Monaco and Marseille are eagerly looking forward to Saturday’s match at Stade Louis II, as it offers them a fresh opportunity to attain glory and put behind their disappointments from the previous week in the French Ligue 1.
After failing to secure a top five position in the previous semester of Ligue 1, which meant missing out on continental competition, Les Monegasques are determined to make it up to their devoted fans. Their goal is to compete for the title and overthrow PSG from their dominant position. However, their recent performance in the league has been disappointing, with only one win in their last four matches. Luckily, no team has managed to gain a significant advantage, allowing the team from the Principality to currently hold the fourth position with 11 points. They are just two points behind the current leader, Brest.
Marseille, historically known as one of France’s powerhouse teams, has been lacking the mentality of a champion for quite some time now. As the 2023-24 season kicks off, they find themselves in a turbulent phase. The atmosphere at Stade Velodrome is far from ideal, as evidenced by the swift dismissal of Marcelino, the Spanish manager, after only seven games. This decision was prompted by their elimination from the final qualifying round of the Champions League by Panathinaikos, along with some unusual results at the start of the Ligue 1 season. Despite only suffering one defeat in the first six matches, Marseille’s numerous draws (three in total) have put them in a disadvantageous position, having only secured half of the available 18 points (9 points).
Monaco vs Marseille Betting Tips: Monaco to Win
Monaco couldn’t capitalize on their dominant performance in the Azure Coast derby against Les Aiglons, missing two penalties and eventually succumbing to a late 0-1 defeat. Meanwhile, Marseille received a severe setback from Ligue 1 champions PSG, losing 0-4 at Parc des Princes. After this humiliating defeat in Le Classique, Les Olympiens have endured a streak of three winless matches, or four if we count the thrilling 3-3 draw against Ajax in the Europa League opener.
Looking at Marseille’s performances away from home adds to the current pessimism, as they have not won a match outside of their Velodrome stadium for a full five months. Their last away victory was on April 23 when they defeated Lyon 2-1. Since then, they have only managed three draws and suffered four losses in seven away matches across all competitions. Adding to their woes, Marseille has been lacking sharpness in the attacking third of the field, only managing to score seven goals in six rounds. This places them as the lowest-scoring team among all the top teams in the league.
Unlike Marseille, Monaco exudes confidence in all aspects of the game, especially in the offensive segment, where they score nearly three goals per match. With the advantage of playing at home, we are confident that Hutter’s team will be able to capitalize on Marseille’s difficulties and secure vital three points on their turf.

Monaco team news
Apart from the already known absences such as Mohammed Salisu, Eliesse Ben Seghir, and Breel Embolo, the treatment room also houses Caio Henrique, who suffered an ACL sprain in his left knee. His recovery timeline is yet to be precisely determined, but it’s certain that Ismail Jakobs will step into his shoes.
Another significant loss for Austrian manager Adi Hutter will be the unavailability of Aleksandr Golovin, who has been handed a one-match suspension due to accumulating yellow cards. Experienced forward Wissam Ben Yedder is expected to return to the attack in place of Folarin Balogun, who was the primary culprit in last week’s defeat to OGC Nice, missing two penalties.

Marseille team news
Regarding the away side, Marseille continues to be without the services of Pape Gueye. The Senegalese player has returned to his original club after concluding his loan stint with Sevilla, but Marseille will need to chart a new course for him as he remains under suspension by FIFA due to transfer complications.
Poor results and mounting pressure from the fans have led to Spanish manager Marcelino‘s departure from the Stade Velodrome after just seven matches. The club’s leadership swiftly found his successor in Gennaro Gattuso, who is set to make his debut on the sidelines this weekend in the match against Monaco.
