----------------------------------- 

AS Monaco is hosting Olympique de Marseille at Stade Louis II in round 21 in the French Ligue 1.

 

Monaco has finally gained some consistency as of late, and they have won 4 of their last 5 games, while one game ended in a draw. Thanks to this streak, Monaco is now in 4th place with 36 points, solid 39 scored goals, and 29 conceded goals, and the Champions League spot is really close to them. During this 5-game streak, Monaco has scored 14 goals while conceding 6 goals. Monaco was playing against Montpellier last weekend, and they were decent with 49% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and 71% of the correct passes. Monaco was leading 0-3 in the 61st minute, but their defense lost focus after that, and they conceded 2 goals, but Monaco has still won this game 2-3. This loss of focus could have been really bad for Monaco, especially against some better team, but luckily, they ended up with all 3 points here. Volland is playing really well, and he has scored 10 goals for Monaco so far. Ben Yedder added 9 goals and 4 assists. Fabregas and Martins are the only 2 injured players for Monaco at the moment. Monaco is doing well right now, and I see them getting to that Champions League spot this season.

 

After being a title contender for a while there, Marseille has gotten into some bad form, and they have dropped in the standings to 6th place with 32 points, only 26 scored goals, and 19 conceded goals. Marseille’s defense is solid, but their offense is not producing enough this season. Marseille has lost their last 3 games in a row, including the one against Lens last weekend. Marseille has had 45% of ball possession in that game, 1 shot on goal, 3 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 79% of the correct passes. Marseille has created a few decent chances, but nothing good enough for them to score a goal, and Marseille has lost this game 0-1. Thauvin has scored 6 goals and added 7 assists for Marseille so far, while Benedetto has added 4 goals. Amavai and Kamara are injured, while Rongier and Gueye are still questionable. Marseille is far from their best form, and they are not competitive at all right now, but you can never know what will happen in these derby games.

 

Monaco has lost only 1 game so far this season, and they are in much better form than Marseille, and Monaco is actually the favorite here. The trends are on Marseille’s side, but that doesn’t mean anything. I’m taking Monaco and goals here because I think we will see plenty.

 

Pick: Monaco
