It's the match of the weekend in Ligue 1. This Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.), Olympique de Marseille hosts AS Monaco at the Stade Vélodrome as part of the 13th day of Ligue 1. A crucial match between two big championship displacements.
Third in the standings with 23 points to their credit, OM want to put out a benchmark match in front of their home crowd this season. Victorious on the previous day against Racing Club de Lens in Bollaert (1-3), Roberto De Zerbi's players want to continue against ASM. But for that, Adrien Rabiot's partners will have to put in all the ingredients to win.
Opposite, AS Monaco is seducing everyone this season despite losing a few points in recent weeks. The Monegasques, who are in second place, are showing great things this year and are even favorites against the Marseillais. A victory would allow them to distance themselves a little further from their evening opponent.
Information on OM and its injured:
A cascade of injuries within Roberto De Zerbi's squad: Ruben Blanco, Pol Lirola, Amine Harit, Derek Cornelius, Faris Moumbagna and Valentin Carboni will not be present at the Vélodrome this Sunday.
Starting XI : Rulli – Murillo, Kondogbia, Balerdi, Merlin – Hojbjerg, Rongier, Rabiot – Greenwood, Maupay, L. Henry
Information on AS Monaco and its injured:
Two players will not be there against the Marseille club: Krepin Diatta and Edan Diop, both injured.
Starting XI: Majecki – Henrique, Kehrer, Singo, Vanderson – Zakaria, Camara – Golovin, Ben Seghir, Akliouche – Embolo
The curse will continue for Olympique de Marseille at home. Once again, the Marseillais will miss out on their match against a championship leader in front of their home crowd. AS Monaco will dampen the Olympians' hopes this Sunday evening and take the 3 points.
As often this season, AS Monaco will be clinical on the offensive level and hurt their opponent. Adi Hutter's players will not tremble when they have to make the difference in the final meters.
As against Paris Saint-Germain during the Classic on October 27, Olympique de Marseille will miss out on this major Ligue 1 meeting.
Roberto De Zerbi's players will have difficulty developing their game in front of their audience and being surprised by the players of the Principality club.
