In the match of the 13th round of the French championship Marseille will play with Monaco at home. This match could decide which club will be the main rival to catch up with PSG. So far, Monaco is in second place in Ligue 1, seven points behind the Parisians and three points ahead of Marseille. If they win, the Provençals will overtake the Monegasques on extra points. Lille who have recently shown the best form among all these teams, can pull up to these guys. Marseille and Monaco lack stability with a lot of potential and occasional glimpses of very good play.

Monaco faced Benfica in the Champions League this week and lost 2-3. It played more than 20 minutes in the penalty shootout and led twice during the game. He did not hold not only the victory, but even a draw. In the last round of the French championship Monaco snatched victory from Brest (3:2), and before that beat Strasbourg (3:1). As we can see, the meetings are quite productive.

The same can be said about Marseille, which does not participate in European cups, but this does not prevent it with an excellent selection of players to alternate in Ligue 1 wins and losses. In the previous round Marseille defeated Lance away (3:1), and before that he managed to lose at home to Auxerre (1-3). Interestingly, the Provençals have won only one match on their home field so far and are performing worse than away. And Monaco have scored away in all meetings in every tournament. So the battle is going to be an interesting one. Last season, the game at the Velodrome ended with a score of 2:2, and away Marseille lost 2:3. Recently, these opponents have been playing effectively between themselves.
