Olympique Marseille - Monaco predictions

Olympique Marseille have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Monaco. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

While Monaco may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 2.57 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

The hosts are lacking no confidence following their impressive showing in the last round. After a level first half, Olympique Marseille rose to the occasion in the second half and recorded a huge away win (1:3) and will be looking to keep the moment going.

Monaco defeated Brest in the previous round with a narrow 3:2 goal difference and a lead at both halftime and the final whistle. To be frank, this outcome wasn’t much of a surprise – top online bookmakers clearly favoured Monaco who also had the advantage of playing at home.

Olympique Marseille’s fans are rather disappointed with what they’ve seen from their defence in recent home games. The previous three matches saw them concede 7 times, which is not a great look.

Monaco netted 6 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

The home team are hoping to keep up the string of successes that landed them just 9 points below the league’s best-placed team. It’s only round 13, though, so staying there will be a real challenge.

Monaco are one of the best-placed teams in the league going into round 13. A Champions League qualification is still quite far away, but they may yet rise up to challenge the title as well.

The hosts are in an unenviable position either way, but a large number of reported injuries makes it even worse. Rubén Blanco, Amine Harit, Pol Lirola, Derek Cornelius, Valentin Carboni are all forced to sit this one out. The hurdles set in front of Olympique Marseille are considerable.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1 if you use the 1xbet sportsbook.
