Monaco vs Marseille prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-04-11 15:00.
[p]Despite seeing Monaco’s four-game unbeaten run come to an end (W3, D1), head coach Adi HĂĽtter insists there are no signs of complacency as his men attempt to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The Austrian boss saw his side slip to a 2-1 defeat against Brest last Saturday – a result that means that Les MonĂ©gasques have slipped to third in the Ligue 1 table, while their advantage over fourth-placed Strasbourg has been whittled down to a single point.[/p]
[p]A return to Stade Louis II should come as a boost, as Monaco have won their last five league matches there, scoring a whopping 19 goals in the process. They could certainly do with extending that streak, as opponents Marseille sit directly above them in the table, although the Red and Whites have worryingly lost four of their last six home H2Hs in Ligue 1 (W2).[/p]
[p]That stat could further lift the spirits of the visitors, who are on course to better their eighth-place finish of last season and record their highest end of season placing in the French top flight since 2021/22. A 3-2 victory over Toulouse in their most recent encounter not only meant that Roberto De Zerbi’s side broke a three-game losing run, but it also moved them into second place, two points clear of Monaco.[/p]
[p]Les Olympiens’ form away from home remains a concern, despite the fact only champions PSG have won more than their nine such Ligue 1 outings this season (L5). Marseille have been beaten in three consecutive top-flight matches on their travels for the first time since a four-game losing streak ending in November 2023, and as if that wasn’t bad enough, De Zerbi’s men have only tasted success once on the road this term against teams currently in the top six (L3).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Despite making just five league appearances at Stade Louis II since joining Monaco in January, Mika Biereth is already the joint-top scorer of home goals in Ligue 1 this season with 11. Marseille’s Mason Greenwood could be on hand to counteract Biereth’s impact – five of his last six club goals served as the second of the game.  [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Monaco’s last six home league games have averaged 5.17 goals per match![/p]
