Monaco are coming after a great succes, 2-0 vs Zenit in the CL. It is incredible that Monaco have won the group, ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, really incredible. Especially since they manage to do it with 4 goals scored and just 1 received.
Monaco is all about defensive football but what did you exepect from them after they lost James Rodriguez, Falcao and Rivier from last season? Really, what could they do without attacking options but learn how to defend. Now they face OM a team very similar to Zenit because of at least 2 reasons: same colours, white and blue and very offensive game style. OM come into this match with some bad team news and injury issues. Thauvin and Payet are doubts while Monaco will surely miss Kurzawa, Echiejile and Carvalho, and also main striker Berbatov.

This seems like a balanced affair. I am thinking about 2 possible bets here. Under because of obvious reasons and also DNB on Marseille, because after all, OM looked the better side this season despite of Monaco’s great CL exploits. Marseille also have no other competition to distract their attention and they will also benefit from the presence of their fans. Monaco has few supporters and is very close to Marseille which has maybe the most supporters in entire France.
I will go for under 2.5 goals because i think the Monaco team news with the absence of Berbatov will make the hosts defend first and attack later. Marseille will be happy with 1 point, especially if Thauvin and Payet will be missing. They know Monaco is a strong opponent, that left undefeated from other top teams (like Leverkusen or Paris SG) so 1 point is a good result for both. I see a low scoring draw with careful football being played, so i will tip the under 2.5 goals.
