Why Draws Have Very High Odds

3y ago

After struggling in Ligue 1 in recent seasons, Monaco look to have finally gotten things right, and the former champions will be desperate to get back to competing among Europe’s big boys next season. And testament to the good work Niko Kovac has done at Monaco this season, is the fact that they are already four points away from matching last season’s total point tally!

Recent poor form has seen Marseille drop from the European berth. And The Olympians risk slipping further behind in the race for continental football, unless results are immediately improved on.

Monaco vs Marseille Team News

Monaco’s strong run of form continued as they held on to secure a hard-fought 2-3 win away at Montpellier in their last Ligue 1 outing. The Monegasques raced to a 3-0 lead thanks to a brace from Wissam Ben Yedder, and a Kevin Volland goal.

But they soon found themselves needing to hang on tight when Montpellier found the back of the net in quick succession, thanks to goals from Elye Wahi and Andy Delort.

That win was Monaco’s fourth in five games, and following a December period that they lost three league games in a row, Niko Kovac’s side have now gone unbeaten in five Ligue 1 matches.

At the moment, Monaco are placed fourth in Ligue 1, with 36 points from 20 games so far, and they are only four points behind PSG in first.
One of the hallmarks of Monaco’s recent strong form is their ability in front of goal. Led by German forward, Kevin Volland, the Monegasques have found the back of the net fourteen times in their last five games!

It is the state of Monaco’s defence though, that is sure to have been giving Niko Kovac sleepless nights, and 29 goals conceded in 20 goals is frankly, not good enough.

Marseille, in contrast to the hosts, have recently hit a rough patch, and a 0-1 defeat to Lens in their last league outing was the latest in a series of disappointments they have recently experienced.

The Olympians are without a win in three league matches, and have won just once in their last seven Ligue 1 outings, losing four of those. Despite their recent poor form, Marseille maintain a high position on the standings, thanks to their nine league wins, and they have collected a decent 32 points from a possible 57.

Monaco boast one of the best home records in Ligue 1, having suffered just one defeat in ten matches at the Stade Louis II this season. Marseille, in similar vein, have proven to be formidable opponents when playing away from home.

Injured or Suspended Players

Monaco: Cesc Fabregas and Auben Aguilar.
Marseille: Jordan Amavi and Boubacar Kamara.

Monaco vs Marseille Predictions

Monaco’s strong form, coupled with Marseille’s recent struggles, and the advantage of playing on familiar ground, should give the hosts the edge in what should be a keenly contested affair.

Marseille have one of the league’s meanest defenses, but Monaco are scoring for fun at the moment, and should have no problems finding the back of the net once or twice.
