AS Monaco vs Marseille Preview

AS Monaco vs Marseille

Competition – France Ligue 1

Stadium: Stade Louis II

Date: 5th April 2026

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

AS Monaco host Marseille at the Stade Louis II on Sunday evening in one of Ligue 1’s most fiercely contested fixtures, with Monaco in outstanding form and Marseille looking to respond after a damaging home defeat. Kick-off is 19:45 GMT.

Monaco head into this one on one of their best recent runs of the season. Their most recent result was a 2-1 win away at Lyon in the league on March 22. Prior to that, they won 2-0 at home against Brest on March 14 and won 3-1 away at Paris Saint-Germain on March 6 — a remarkable result that underlined their title credentials. Earlier in this run, a 2-0 home win over Angers and a 2-2 draw away at PSG in the Champions League complete a sequence of four wins and one draw — one of the most in-form sides in Ligue 1 over this period. With 47 goals scored and a goal difference of +9 this season, Monaco are a potent attacking force with the momentum to match. Minamino, Salisu, Vanderson and Ouattara are all confirmed out, while Pogba and Henrique are doubtful.

Marseille arrive having lost their most recent outing — a 2-1 home defeat to Lille on March 22. Prior to that, they won 1-0 at home over AJ Auxerre on March 13 and 1-0 away at Toulouse on March 7. Earlier in this run, a Coupe de France loss at home to Toulouse on March 4 and a 3-2 home win over Lyon on March 1 complete a sequence of three wins and two losses — patchy form that leaves them vulnerable away from home against a Monaco side clicking into gear. With 54 goals scored and a goal difference of +19, Marseille are a dangerous attacking team, but the loss of Nayef Aguerd and Mason Greenwood to injury weakens both their defensive and attacking options.

The head-to-head record is perfectly level over the last five meetings — two wins each and one draw. Most recently, Marseille won 1-0 at home in December 2025, while Monaco won 3-0 at home in April 2025. Marseille also won 2-1 at home in December 2024, while Monaco won 3-2 at home in September 2023.

Possible line-ups

AS Monaco (3-4-2-1) Hrádecky, Teze, Kehrer, Faes, Zakaria, Bamba, Akliouche, Camara, Golovin, Adingra, Balogun

Marseille (4-2-3-1) Rulli, Emerson, Kondogbia, Balerdi, Medina, Paixão, Højbjerg, Weah, Timber, Nwaneri, Gouiri

Injured Players:

AS Monaco: Takumi Minamino (Out), Mohammed Salisu (Out), Vanderson (Out), Kassoum Ouattara (Out), Paul Pogba (Doubtful), Caio Henrique (Doubtful)

Marseille: Nayef Aguerd (Out), Mason Greenwood (Out)

Monaco carry the heavier injury burden with four confirmed absentees and two more doubtful, depleting their defensive depth and wide options. Marseille lose two important players in Aguerd at centre-back and Greenwood as a key attacking outlet, though their overall squad depth is better positioned.
