Ben Yedder crosses too much
Wissam Ben Yedder is well placed but crosses his shot too much which misses the cages of Ruben Blanco.
OM have the ball
AS Monaco has obviously decided to counter at the start of the game. The Olympians have the ball and are trying to get around the opposing defence.
Veretout removes his strike too much
Jordan Veretout is served back from a corner and takes his chance but it is not precise at all and flies away.
Nübel steps in
Alexander Nübel is on the lookout and ahead of Alexis Sanchez who had called the ball in depth.
Maripan get out!
Guillermo Maripan is vigilant in his area and repels the center of Kolasinac which had made the difference.
The Marseille response
And here is Marseille responding after the two Monegasque occasions. Malinovskyi strikes from outside the area but Nübel comes in twice.
What a huge opportunity!
Vanderson is too short! But what an opportunity for AS Monaco, which had projected itself very quickly. It is the Monegasques who are dangerous at the moment.
Already an opportunity
What an opportunity for ASM with a fine save from Ruben Blanco on a low shot from Eliesse Ben Seghir.
Let’s go to the Velodrome!
And here we go for this shock of the 20th day of Ligue 1! OM receives AS Monaco in an exceptional atmosphere!
Ounahi is at the Velodrome
As expected, the Marseille rookie (even if he has not yet officially signed) Ounahi is present at the Vélodrome.
Start of the match in 15 minutes
The kick-off of this clash of the 20th day of Ligue 1 will be given by Jérémie Pignard. If successful, OM can take 2nd place.
The Ben Yedder Threat
OM will have to be wary of Wissam Ben Yedder who is used to hurting the Olympians. Indeed, he scored 8 goals against Marseille in Ligue 1.
A record in sight for Marseille?
Tonight OM can break a historic record. Indeed, the Phocaeans are on a series of eight straight wins. If they win against AS Monaco, they will achieve an unprecedented record in the history of the club.
The composition of the ASM with the young Ben Seghir
Here is the composition of AS Monaco with the tenure of young Eliesse Ben Seghir in attack: Nübel – Vanderson, Disasi, Maripan, Caio Henrique – Diatta, Fofana, Matazo, Golovin – Ben Seghir, Ben Yedder.
The composition of OM without Balerdi
Here is the composition of OM without Leonardo Balerdi who is left on the bench: Blanco – Mbemba, Gigot, Kolasinac – Ünder, Rongier, Veretout, Tavares – Malinovskyi, Guendouzi – Sanchez.
The Marseillais arrive at the stadium
The Olympians arrive at the Vélodrome stadium a full hour before the kick-off of this clash of the 20th day against AS Monaco.
Ounahi will be at the Velodrome
RMC SPORT INFO – Azzedine Ounahi did not participate in SCO training this Saturday and according to information from RMC Sport, he will be at the Vélodrome stadium this evening for the match, proof that his signing is imminent.
Clement is without the services of Volland and Jean Lucas
Philippe Clement having announced in the pre-match press conference that he had “no injuries”, this means that in addition to Camara being suspended, the Monegasque coach has chosen not to take Jean or Jean into the squad. Lucas or Kevin Volland.
The OM group without Clauss or Pau Lopez
Despite his return to collective training Jonathan Clauss is not part of the group to face Monaco this Saturday. No risk either for Pau Lopez, who will therefore be replaced by Ruben Blanco in the Marseille cages. Igor Tudor has only called up a select group of 18 players.
