Olympique de Marseille welcome the visitors Monaco in the French Ligue 1 – Round 20. The match will be held on Sunday, January 13th, at the Stade Velodrome (Marseille).
Over the previous 7 rounds, Olympique de Marseille have lost 6 times and drawed once – over a month ago, in the league encounter against Reims. The hosts were eliminated from 3 Cups – the Coupe de France, the Coupe de la Ligue, and the Europa League. That said, the Coupe de France fixture was last for Marseille. Amazingly, they’ve contrived to lose with a scoreline of 2:0 to the fourth-tier outfit! Mind that in that outing, the team played with Amavi, Luis-Gustavo, Payet, Germain, Tauvin, and Mandanda in their squad.

In 2019, Monaco featured 2 cup matches and celebrated wins in both. The last match saw their penalty victory over Rennes – the 11th (!) decider penalty was scored by their goalkeeper.
Anyways, despite Monaco’s good start to the year and the failing Marseille’s campaign lately, the second-last guests are still not ready to beat the sixth-placed opposing side. It is noteworthy, however, that Monaco’s squad have been fortified by Naldo (former Schalke 04 centreback) and Fabregas (former Chelsea central midfielder). Nevertheless, in 17 rounds, ‘Les Olympiens’ conceded only once at home. That was a loss to Paris Saint-Germain. Only Rennes and Reims could pick up 1 point in Marseille. Following the hosts’ latest embarrassing defeat, the winter break will probably benefit them – ‘Les Olympiens’ will learn lessons and will finally gain their first win in the one-month-and-a-half period. This win over the outsider so far Monaco will break their no-win home streak against ‘Les Monegasques’’ that counts yet five consecutive head-to-heads. In this campaign, Marseille have already won Monaco away from home, 2:3.
Prediction for the match: Olympique de Marseille to win home.
