Fixture: Marseille vs Monaco
League: Ligue 1
Venue: Stade Velodrome
Date: Sunday 15th January
Kick-off: 20:00 GMT


Betting Preview:

Standing in Monaco’s way is a Marseille side who have lost just one of their last 15 Ligue 1 matches at the Stade Velodrome. The task to grab three points and keep the pressure on Nice at the top doesn’t come much tougher than this.

Another statistic in Marseille’s favour is that Monaco have won just two of their last five away fixtures in the French top-flight and Sunday’s fixture could leave them frustrated once again.

Match Prediction:

Olympique Marseille have conceded just a solitary goal at home all season, which is a very impressive record and holds some potential for you’re betting slip.

Although Monaco have scored a massive 56 goals this season and at twice in their last three matches against Marseille, a cagey affair is likely with both teams hopes resting on getting result here.

Monaco can extend their lead over PSG and close the gap at the top, while the hosts can sneak into the top five and heap pressure onto Lyon.


Possible Lineups:

Marseille: Pele; Sakai, Fanny, Rolando, Rekik; Diarra, Lopez; Thauvin, Cabella, N’Jie; Gomis
Monaco: Subasic; Toure, Glik, Jemerson, Sidibe; Boschilla, Fabinho, Moutinho, Lemar; Germain, Falcao
