The upcoming Marseille-Monaco clash is not only anticipated on the pitch but also off it, as Marseille defender Kassim Abdallah shares his perspective on the match. Abdallah believes that Marseille can match Monaco’s strength, stating, “It’s a good team but for the moment I don’t think it’s a big team.”
Both teams, with strong ambitions for the season, are expected to fiercely compete. Abdallah expresses confidence in Marseille’s ability to achieve a positive result at home, saying, “We can compete with them. Now is a good time to take them. We are confident with three victories in three matches, and the machine is not yet well oiled, so it is better to play them now.”
Abdallah emphasizes the determination factor, stating, “The team that is the most determined will win because the teams are equal. We have nothing to envy of Monaco apart from their budget.” He acknowledges that a draw against Monaco would not be a poor result, despite Marseille’s strong start to the season.
Observers are already viewing this meeting as a significant clash, akin to a Champions League match. The probable compositions for the teams are as follows:
OM: Mandanda – Fanni, Diawara, Nkoulou, Mendy – Imbula, Romao – Payet, Valbuena, A. Ayew – Gignac
Monaco: Subasic – Fabinho, Abidal, Carvalho, Kurzawa – Toulalan, Obbadi – J. Rodriguez, Moutinho, Ferreira Carrasco – Falcao
This Marseille-Monaco encounter is expected to be a highly competitive and closely watched match.
