Olympique Marseille - Monaco predictions

Though Olympique Marseille are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

The visiting team knows that beating Olympique Marseille on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Although the home team managed to snag an early lead in their previous Ligue 1 match, the bout eventually ended inconclusively. It’s an altogether disappointing outcome for Olympique Marseille, who were projected to win that game by most top bookies and predictions.

A 1:3 defeat is not something Monaco expected when it comes to their previous league match. They were clear favourites to claim a win but ended up disappointing their fans. Therefore the Saturday clash is a perfect opportunity to bounce back.

Olympique Marseille leave quite the impression whenever we see them play in front of their fans at Orange Vélodrome. They scored more than 5 goals in total the last 3 times they did so, which is a solidly impressive record.

Olympique Marseille are in the upper half of the table, trailing three positions behind the European places. We haven’t even seen half of the season, however, so there’s enough time for drastic changes in the standings. It won’t be easy to walk away with three points this Saturday, though.

The visiting team are currently one of the top-ranking squads in the entire Ligue 1. Even so, most bookmakers agree that the match can go either way, so earning 3 points would be a hard-fought battle.

Despite the 2.41 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against Monaco. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Saturday. Valentin Rongier, Joaquín Correa, Ulisses Garcia will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.77, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
