AS Monaco vs Marseille Prediction
AS Monaco are fourth in the league, and have won two of their last five league games. They made some smart acquisitions during the summer transfer window, with their most high-profile purchase being American striker Folarin Balogun from Arsenal for €30 million.
Balogun's last game was one to forget, with the 22-year-old missing two penalties as his side lost to Nice. On the other hand, former Liverpool attacker Takumi Minamino has enjoyed a bright start to their league campaign, while Brazilian right-back Vanderson has looked good as well.
Marseille, on the other hand, are eighth in the league and have won one of their last five league games. They are a club in crisis; Marcelino lasted seven games as manager before leaving, while tension exists between the fans and the club.
Gennaro Gattuso has been brought in to provide some much-needed impetus. The Italian has had spells at clubs like AC Milan, Napoli, Fiorentina and Valencia, but has not been able to last long.
Marseille are not in a good phase right now. AS Monaco should have enough to emerge victorious.
Prediction: AS Monaco 2-0 Marseille
