Marseille vs Monaco Prediction and Betting Tips | December 1, 2024

Third-placed Marseille invite second-placed Monaco to the Stade Velodrome in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The hosts have seven wins in 12 games and 23 points, three fewer than Les Monégasques.

Marseille have suffered two losses in their last five league games, with both coming at home. They resumed their campaign after the international break with a 3-1 win at Lens last week. Valentin Rongier, Luis Henrique and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg scored in the second half, with Neal Maupay assisting twice.

Monaco, meanwhile, registered their second consecutive Ligue 1 win last week, with goals from Aleksandr Golovin and Maghnes Akliouche helped them to a 3-2 home triumph over Brest. They failed to build on that, though, falling to a 3-2 loss to Benfica in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
