This Sunday, AS Monaco is set to host Olympique de Marseille for the 22nd day of Ligue 1 in what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The match carries a special significance as it marks OM’s return to Louis II for a championship game after a two-year hiatus. Despite Monaco missing their star striker, Falcao, due to injury, they are determined to maintain their position as the second team on the leaderboard, chasing Paris Saint-Germain.
Marseille, on the other hand, is keen on leaving Louis II with points in hand to stay in the race for a podium finish. Currently eight points behind the third-place team, Lille, with a game in hand, OM sees this match as crucial for their aspirations. Steve Mandanda, the team’s captain, emphasizes that third place is still within reach and believes they need to exhibit a different performance against Monaco, a direct competitor.
