Olympique Marseille - Monaco predictions

Olympique Marseille should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Monaco can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

Monaco appear severely unprepared for a clash with Olympique Marseille, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.86 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Olympique Marseille lost their previous Ligue 1 game against Lille , but they did so as clear underdogs. They played as visitors against considerably stronger opposition, who secured an early lead which lead into a narrow 1:0 loss for Olympique Marseille.

Even though the 1:0 defeat in Monaco’s previous away game was by no means crushing, it was an unwelcome surprise to most fans. The worst part is that Brest, their opponents, seemed to be in control of the pitch for the entire match.

Olympique Marseille have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Monaco can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

As we move into round 16 of this year’s Ligue 1, the home team are near the peak of the current standings. This match offers a good shot to build up even more points, maybe even for a shot at the title.

Monaco’s position as 7th in the standings is neither here nor there, but it’s also far from set in stone. There’s half of the season to look forward to – though betting predictions are rather pessimistic about their chances going forward.

The $ODDS odds on a home win are hard to trust with last season’s harsh defeat still fresh in our memories. The fact that Monaco won that clash was a surprise in its own right – the goal difference was even less expected.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Sunday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 1xbet priced at 1 odds.
