Prediction: 1-2
Monaco
Sparkles will be flying when Olympique Marseille and Monaco lock horns at Stade Velodrome in the Ligue 1 derby. OM aim to move closer to the Champions League berth and we predict that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s showdown. Both Michael Murillo and Bilal Nadir limped off with injuries in the Coupe de France loss to Rennes, with Luis Henrique and Ulisses Garcia likely to step up, while Samuel Gigot misses out through suspension. As all Mbemba, Ounahi, Harit, Ndiaye, Sarr, Gueye, and Ngapandouetnbu are on international duty, home win should not be considered.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, did well to beat Rodez 3-1 in the French Cup last 32 and given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Adi Hutter’s troops. Keep in mind, though, that the likes of Camara, Minamino, Diatta, Jakobs, Salisu, and Singo are on international duty.

Highlighted Team (Monaco):
Though based in Monaco, Les Rouges et Blances – as they are commonly referred to – play their games in the French football league system. Members of the top tier Ligue 1, Monaco play their home matches at the Stade Louis II in Fontvieille in front of 18,500 people.

The following year AS Monaco were acquired by the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, whose heavy investments turned the Principality club into one of the biggest spenders in Europe in 2013 and reestablishing its place among Europe’s top clubs.
