The 29th day of Ligue 1 will see AS Monaco and Olympique de Marseille face each other on Saturday 12 April 2025 at 5 pm at the Stade Louis-II. This meeting is of paramount importance in the podium race, with both teams actively competing for second place in the standings. Marseille, currently second with 52 points, sees its advantage threatened by Monaco, which follows closely with 50 points. A Monegasque victory would allow the ASM to take the second position, while a Marseille success would consolidate their place. The referee of this meeting will be B. Bastien, and spectators will be able to follow the live-text match on the specialized website, as well as on TV on beIN Sports 1.
The AS Monaco tackles this shock with a positive dynamic, with three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five matches, for a total of nine goals scored and four conceded. However, the Principality team will have to deal with the absence of several key players, including S. Magassa, C. Mawissa Elebi, B. Embolo (wound) and J. Teze, K. Ouattara (suspendus). The Olympique de Marseille, for its part, is going through a more unstable period, with only two wins for three defeats in its last five games, and a negative score in terms of goals. The injured absences of C. Mbemba and R. Blanco, as well as the suspensions of L. Balerdi, Luiz Felipe and A. Gouiri, further weakened the team led by Igor Tudor.
The recent direct confrontations between the two clubs show a precarious balance, with two victories for Marseille, one for Monaco and two points sharing. This meeting will therefore be intense and full of suspense, where each detail could influence the final result and potentially change the ranking of the League 1. The fans of Monaco and Marseille are expected in large numbers to attend this sporting show, and football fans will be able to follow the live match to not miss anything from this crucial battle.
