Team News and Predicted Lineups
Olympique de Marseille
Marseille will be without suspended midfielder Valentin Rongier. Dimitri Payet and Nuno Tavares are doubtful due to injuries.
Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Pau Lopez; Chancel Mbemba, Eric Bailly, Leonardo Balerdi, Nuno Tavares; Jordan Veretout, Pape Gueye, Mattéo Guendouzi; Cengiz Ünder, Alexis Sanchez, Amine Harit

Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Alexander Nübel; Vanderson, Benoît Badiashile, Axel Disasi, Caio Henrique; Gelson Martins, Mohamed Camara, Youssouf Fofana, Sofiane Diop; Breel Embolo, Myron Boadu
Match Analysis
Marseille has been in poor form recently, winning just one of their last five league games. Monaco, on the other hand, are on a three-match winning streak.
Monaco's attacking prowess, featuring the likes of Embolo and Diop, will be a major threat to Marseille's shaky defense. Marseille will need to rely on the creativity of Payet and Ãœnder to create chances.
Prediction
Given Monaco's superior form and attacking firepower, they are slight favorites to win this match. However, Marseille's home advantage and the potential for a Payet-inspired performance could make this a close contest.
Prediction: AS Monaco to win 2-1
