Olympique de Marseille struck a big blow this Sunday in Ligue 1. The Marseille club narrowly won in the clash against AS Monaco with a score of 2 goals to 1. A success which allows the Olympiens to steal second place from the Monegasques.
This victory for Marseillais could prove to be a benchmark match or even a trigger for the rest of the season. But where will the Phocaeans finish at the end of the season? Will they go to the Champions League next season?
Olympique de Marseille has a strong chance of being one of the clubs which will advance to the Champions League next season. Roberto De Zerbi's men got off to a good start to the season despite a few gaps at home.
Currently runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain, the Olympians will perhaps not succeed in retaining their second place and their position on the podium in Ligue 1. According to l’I.A d’Opta, Mason Greenwood's partners have a 23.4% chance of finishing in fourth place behind PSG, Monaco and Lille. Thus, they would contest the accession roadblocks to the LDC.
| OM final ranking | Percentage of chances for Opta |
|---|---|
| 1er | 2,0% |
| 2nd | 24,2% |
| 3rd | 25,9% |
| 4th | 23,4% |
| 5th | 13,2% |
| 6th | 6,4% |
