Monaco take on the visitors Marseille in the round 28 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, April 5th at Stade Louis II (Monaco).
Monaco turned to Adi Hütter after their dip in 2023. He immediately delivered close to the maximum possible result, finishing as runners-up (with Paris Saint-Germain still out of reach). In the following campaign, they dropped by one position, but the result was still solid. However, after the summer break, problems began, and the Austrian was dismissed, with Francesco Pochettino (Pokognoli) brought in as his replacement. For a long time, results did not improve — they reached the Champions League playoffs but lost, albeit competitively, to PSG. Earlier, in early February, they were knocked out of the cup by RC Strasbourg Alsace. Only towards the end of winter did their Ligue 1 form improve, including a 2-1 away win over Olympique Lyonnais before the international break. Their recent results show gradual improvement, especially in away matches. At the same time, consistency is still lacking, with performances varying from game to game.

Marseille are trying to rescue the situation. The “Les Phocéens” appointed Roberto De Zerbi after the disappointing 2023/2024 season, while also strengthening the squad with several high-profile signings. As a result, he was the one who pushed Monaco down from second place last season. However, the new campaign started poorly, with an early setback in the opening round accompanied by internal issues. Although performances briefly improved, another downturn followed: they failed to reach the Champions League playoffs after a heavy defeat in the final round. After a couple of further slip-ups domestically, the Italian coach departed, and Bruno Génésio (Beye) arrived from Stade Rennais F.C.. His start was also difficult, highlighted by a cup exit on penalties against Toulouse FC. Gradually, however, they improved in the league, although the recent 1-2 home loss to LOSC Lille shows that not all issues have been resolved. Their current form suggests some progress, but still far from stability. Marseille remain unpredictable, capable of both strong performances and unexpected setbacks.
Overall, this is a fairly balanced matchup. In 2025, the teams exchanged home victories. The “Monegasques” are playing at home against an inconsistent opponent. The pick is Monaco to win.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to win.
