Marseille host AS Monaco at the Stade Velodrome on Saturday in Ligue 1, looking to extend their unbeaten run in the competition to eight games.
Since a 1-0 loss to Lens in mid-November last year, their fourth loss from the opening 12 games, Les Olympiens have improved their form.
This has seen them climb up to seventh on the league table with 28 points from 18 games, though in their most recent outing, Marseille were brought back down to earth.
Rennes ousted them from the French Cup in the round of 32 following a 9-8 penalty shootout victory on Monday. Jordan Veretout put Marseille 1-0 up in the 29th minute but Martin Terrier equalized for Les Rennais early in the second half.
Trending
In the shootouts, Samuel Gigot missed the decisive kick for Gennaro Gattuso's side, who resultantly crashed out.
AS Monaco, however, advanced to the last-16 of the cup after beating Rodez 3-1 on the road, powered by a sensational hat-trick from Wissam Ben Yedder. On the league front, though, Les Monegasques have struggled in recent outings, losing two of their last three games.
This includes a 3-1 home loss to Reims in their last top-flight game. With 33 points from 18 games, though, Monaco remain fourth, three places above Marseille.
