Match preview

Les Phocéens welcome AS Monaco FC to the Orange Vélodrome on Sunday for this Ligue 1 match. Having won the reverse fixture back in September, Marseille are looking for a first league double over Monaco here since the 2007/08 season. They also eliminated Monaco from the Coupe de France Second Round that season giving them a trio of victories in a single campaign.

Olympique Marseille come into the match on a run of two league games without a win. They have picked up 10 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

L'OM shared the points in their last league match away to ESTAC Troyes. Expected goals of 2.0 to 1.0 in favour of Troyes indicates Marseille were a little fortunate to escape from the game with a point.

Although, it actually looked like they would take all three points when Les Olympiens were awarded a penalty on 25 minutes which Dimitri Payet stepped up to convert for his side.

Payet now has nine league goals this season for Marseille and is 3.1/1 to get on the scoresheet again here.

However, Troyes finally found a breakthrough in the game’s final minutes to prevent Marseille from snatching all three points after a poor performance. The final score of the match was 1-1.

Their opponent on Sunday, AS Monaco FC, come into the match on a run of four away league games without a win. They have picked up eight points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

The Red and Whites lost their last league match at home to Stade Reims. Expected goals of 1.7xG apiece highlight how evenly matched the two sides were on the balance of chances created and that Monaco were unlucky to get nothing from the match.

A Wissam Ben Yedder consolation goal here means he remains top of the Ligue 1 scorers chart with 15 league goals this season for Monaco. He leads Kylian Mbappé by one and is 2.37/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-2.
