Ligue 1 France
Game Prediction
In the 13th round of Ligue 1 France, on December 1, 2024, the match between Marseille and Monaco will take place. Both teams are aiming for at least second place in the league, making this head-to-head clash crucial for their ambitions.
Our prediction for the match Marseille vs Monaco
"Les Phocéens" (Marseille) had a disappointing season last year, finishing in 8th place and missing out on European competition. In contrast, Monaco made a successful decision to hire Adi Hütter, who immediately transformed the team into the vice-champions of the country.
Currently, the club from the French Riviera is not slowing down. Despite setbacks against Nice and Angers, they bounced back with consecutive wins over Strasbourg and Brest, scoring three goals in each of those matches. This has solidified their position in second place, behind only PSG. In the Champions League, Monaco has dropped points only in Zagreb, drawing 2-2 with Dinamo, but they have defeated Barcelona, Red Star Belgrade, and Bologna. Their most recent loss to Benfica was a dramatic and intense game, but it hasn’t significantly affected their form.
Marseille, under Roberto De Zerbi, has also adopted an attacking style, which has been successful in the offensive department, scoring an average of 2.18 goals per match. However, their defense has been more vulnerable, conceding 1.36 goals per game. Monaco, on the other hand, has been more conservative, averaging 1.75 goals per match and conceding less than a goal per game.
