Marseille vs Monaco Prediction & Betting Tips (14 December)

Its poor performances over the last two days against Toulouse 2-2, returning to the score in added time, and at Lille, scene of a narrow 1-0 defeat, were fatal for Olympique de Marseille. If he could be satisfied with having retained his place on the last step of the podium, he was now 4 points behind 2nd placed PSG and 5 behind the leader, Lens, after the matches of the 15th day. The expected reaction in the Champions League took place on Tuesday in Belgium. The Phocéens' victory at Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 2-3 brought them closer to qualifying for the play-offs. For its part, Monaco was scuttled last week in Brest 1-0, suffering a fourth defeat on this occasion in the last 6 days.

ASM had just recovered with a surprise victory against PSG 1-0 after having suffered 3 losses in November. She is paying a high price by now being out of the European places, in 7th place with one unit behind the top 5. Also, the gap which keeps her from the podium is significant - 6 points. The Principality club also took advantage of the Champions League of the week, at home against Galatasaray 1-0, to find some color. 

Roberto De Zerbi can once again count on his midfield captain Höjbjerg since the trip to Lille. The Marseille coach, on the other hand, must still plan without Gouiri, Traoré and Medina, all three of whom have been absent for many weeks and who should not wear the OM jersey in 2025. Balerdi and Pavard are applying for a return to the eleven compared to the Champions League when Weah became a serious competitor on the right side for a Murillo also capable of playing in the center of defense. The three men of the attacking trio were decisive against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. Greenwood, top scorer in Ligue 1 with his 10 goals, notably scored a double. AS Monaco records the return of three starters compared to the trip to Brest: Kehrer in central defense, its captain Zakaria in midfield and the striker Balogun.

Author of 4 goals in the Championship, the last city returned to action this week brilliantly, offering victory to his team against Galatasaray. However, he remains the only one to be decisive on a regular basis. His friend Ansu Fati (5 goals in L1), silent for two months, and defensive executives Dier and Mawissa, unavailable since October, could forfeit again. Paul Pogba still needs to gain momentum before claiming a first start. The French international has come into play in the last three days of Ligue 1 but has not yet been used in the Champions League.
