AS Monaco: Form, Lineup & Prediction

Current form

AS Monaco have hit a rough patch recently, winning just 2 of their last 8 matches across all competitions (2W-4D-2L). Their attack has struggled to find the net consistently, scoring only 7 goals during this stretch.

Key players and injuries

• Unavailable players: Kevin Volland (thigh injury), Cesc Fabregas (suspension)
• In-form contributors: Wissam Ben Yedder (4 goals in last 5 games), Aurelien Tchouameni (2 assists in last 3 games)

Position in the standings

AS Monaco currently sit 6th in the Ligue 1 table with 48 points from 29 games. They are 5 points behind 3rd-placed Rennes in the race for a Champions League spot.

Strengths and weaknesses

Monaco's strength lies in their attacking talent with Ben Yedder and Volland leading the line, but defensive issues have plagued them recently with 10 goals conceded in their last 5 games. Their home form has also been inconsistent.

Prediction for AS Monaco

Based on their recent dip in form and attacking struggles, a win for AS Monaco seems unlikely in this crucial clash against Marseille.

Olympique de Marseille: Form, Lineup & Prediction

Current form

Marseille have hit top gear at just the right time, going unbeaten in their last 6 matches (4W-2D) and keeping 4 clean sheets in that run. They have outscored opponents 10-2 during this stretch.

Key players and injuries

• Unavailable players: Dmitri Payet (calf injury)
• In-form contributors: Arkadiusz Milik (5 goals in last 6 games), Matteo Guendouzi (3 assists in last 4 games)

Position in the standings

Marseille are firmly in the race for a Champions League spot, currently occupying 3rd place with 53 points, 5 clear of Monaco. A win in this game could solidify their position.

Strengths and weaknesses

Marseille have been extremely solid defensively, with their settled back four providing a strong base. Up front, Milik has been lethal with his goalscoring touch. However, they can struggle to break down defensive sides.

Prediction for Olympique de Marseille

Given their excellent recent form and strong defensive performances, Marseille will fancy their chances of extending their unbeaten run with at least a point at Monaco.
