4th spot in the Ligue 1 table for Monaco at present, a strong campaign. The home team supporters hope for more joy as 7th-placed Olympique Marseille visit Stade Louis II..
- Monaco have the most scored goals (15) in Ligue 1
- Olympique Marseille have yet to win a game away.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Monaco form and stats
Monaco must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Ligue 1 games here at Stade Louis II..
Monaco's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Nice (placed 2nd). The first setback in the shape of a defeat after collecting points through five league fixtures. Köhn had a busy but productive day in the Nice match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Midfielder Henrique was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.81 (out of ten) in that game. Henrique hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 47 successful passes (of 53 total).
A 2-2 draw away before that, with Lorient the opponent.This is expected to be a close game, with Monaco perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Monaco as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Monaco has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.
As for guarding their own goal, Monaco have only let in {1 goals} at home.
Olympique Marseille form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Ligue 1 for Olympique Marseille with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
The attacking players of Olympique Marseille have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 266 minutes.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Olympique, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Paris Saint Germain (placed 3rd). That defeat was their first after five consecutive league games winning points. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Paris Saint Germain was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Defender Gigot was the best team player with a rating of 7.05. Gigot hit two key passes and won 7 of 8 duels.
Before that game, 3-3 away against Ajax in the Europa League. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Olympique Marseille playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 4 Olympique Marseille wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
For Olympique, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
