After a fantastic start to the season, AS Monaco suffered their first European defeat against Benfica (2-3). The trip to OM is the ideal opportunity to move forward, facing a direct competitor in Ligue 1. Both teams aim to finish this 13th day on the second step of the podium, behind PSG.
A shock without a notable absence
Both teams can count on squads without any notable absences. Besides Faris Moumbagna and Valentin Carboni on the Marseille side, and the expected returns of Pol Lirola and Amine Harit soon, no player left Roberto De Zerbi's group due to a physical problem. Same observation on the Rock, where only Edan Diop and Krépin Diatta are missing.
The challenge of this match for the Phocéens is also to break the bad series at home. At the Vélodrome, the Marseillais have two defeats in a row, against Auxerre (1-3) and against PSG (0-3). Olympique de Marseille are penultimate in Ligue 1 at home.
