After a bright start to the new Ligue 1 campaign, Marseille looked in danger of slipping away from the leading pack after a run of just two wins from six league games between the end of September and the November international window (D1, L3). But a timely victory away at Lens last round (3-1) saw them hold onto a position inside the top three heading into this weekend, with upcoming opponents Monaco just three points ahead in second.

Halting Marseille’s progress in terms of mounting a realistic title challenge so far has been their patchy home form, with no win across their past three league matches at the Vélodrome (D1, L2). The two defeats came in their two most recent matches there, and another on this occasion would see them defeated in three straight home league matches for the first time since February 2021.

Monaco had the wind taken out of their sails during the week when they fell to a 3-2 Champions League defeat against Benfica, ending what has been an impressive run of three successive competitive victories. For manager Adi Hütter, a growing concern might be how his side’s defence, which looked watertight when opening the campaign with three league clean sheets in four matches, has started conceding goals. After letting in five goals in their last two competitive fixtures, they are now at risk of conceding more than one goal in consecutive league games for the first time since March.

What often bails them out when their backline is breached is an attack that rarely lets them down, especially on the road. Monaco have scored in each of their last 16 away Ligue 1 games and are the only team to have scored in each of their away matches during the 2024 calendar year, whilst also netting in each of their last 14 competitive visits to Marseille (W5, D6, L3).

Players to watch: Mason Greenwood, scorer in two of Marseille’s last three matches, needs one more goal involvement to reach 50 in all league football across his senior career. Maghnes Akliouche scored his first two goals of the Ligue 1 season against Brest last round, and notably grabbed a brace against Marseille in September 2023 (W 3-2).

Hot stat: Of teams they have hosted more than once, Marseille have the lowest percentage of top-flight home wins against Monaco in the 21st century (25% – 5/20).
