The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of important matches this weekend as Monaco take on Marseille at the Stade Louis II on Saturday. The two teams have been fairly inconsistent this season and will want to make their mark on this match.
Marseille are currently in sixth place in the Ligue 1 standings and have not been at their best in recent weeks. Les Phoceens suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to Lens earlier this week and cannot afford to put a foot wrong in this match.
Monaco, on the other hand, find themselves in the top four at the moment after a run of impressive results in recent weeks. Les Monegasques edged Montpellier to an exhilarating 3-2 victory in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Monaco vs Marseille Head-to-Head
Marseille and Monaco are on a fairly even footing as far as the head-to-head record is concerned and have won 46 matches against each other. Marseille have won 19 matches as opposed to Monaco's 17 victories and have a slight edge over their opponents.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place two months ago and ended in a narrow 2-1 victory for Marseille. Monaco were well below their best on the day and will want to put in a better performance over the weekend.
