Monaco vs Marseille prediction 05.04.2026 | Ligue 1

Monaco come into this fixture in excellent form, winning six consecutive Ligue 1 outings. Their recent results include a 3-1 win over PSG and a 2-1 victory against Lyon, highlighting strong attacking momentum. Sebastien Pocognoli’s side have scored at least two goals in each of those six wins and remain one of the more attack-oriented teams in Ligue 1.

Key contributors include Folarin Balogun and Maghnes Akliouche in attack, while Aleksandr Golovin leads creative output with multiple assists this season. The forward duo of Folarin Balogun and Ansu Fati have netted 17 goals combined this season, accounting for more than one-third of Monaco’s total goal tally.

Defensively, Monaco have kept just two clean sheets in their last six matches, indicating some vulnerability at the back. No major injury concerns have been widely reported, allowing Monaco to rely on a stable core squad.

Marseille arrive with decent recent form, recording three wins from the last four Ligue 1 fixtures. Their impressive run of three consecutive wins was interrupted by Lille, who claimed a 2-1 victory at the Velodrome just before the first international break of the season.

Their attack remains one of the most productive in Ligue 1, averaging 2.16 goals per match, with Mason Greenwood leading the scoring charts with 15 goals and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contributing both goals (8) and assists (5).

However, defensive inconsistency remains a concern, as Marseille have kept just three clean sheets in their last nine matches and suffered heavy defeats such as the 5-0 loss to PSG earlier in the season.

Marseille’s away matches frequently produce goals, with over 2.5 goals occurring in around two-thirds of their road fixtures, which suggests they are likely to play an attacking game rather than adopt a defensive approach.
