Even though they let the home side Toulouse having the ball possession, Monaco managed to get clean 2:0 victory away from home last weekend against them, without much of the problems. They scored goals in most convenient moments (36th minute by Kurzawa and 88th by Ocampos) to seal another victory that keeps them firmly at second position.
It was their first victory after two unexpected setbacks in Ligue 1, as the team lost to Valenciennes at home 1:2 and drew on the road against Montpellier week later. In any way, they have bounced back additionally with a 3:0 victory in French Cup against amateur side Monts and have surely improved the atmosphere a bit. As said, the team is currently second at the table and has five points less than PSG, while surely nobody feels the title chase is over and will try everything to get back in the race. Forward Martial (6/2) rolled his ankle in a game against Valenciennes and could miss again, while the major blow is absentee of their best player and super start striker Falcao (17/9) who ruptured his ligaments and will miss out for the rest of the season.

Marseille, on the other side, is coming from back-to-back defeats in Cup competitions as they previously lost to Lyon 2:1 on the road last weekend, but then suffered 4:5 defeat at home against Nice few days ago in a game where the whole side under performed big time. Their defensive mistakes were especially not acceptable during all ninety minutes.
Visitors were more concrete and fully deserved the victory there, as the home side didn’t show anything that they had in previous league performance when they won over Evian 1:2 on the road. That victory was their third game without defeat, as the team climbed up to seventh position and are now five points away from Europa League placed St Etienne. Their previous league game against Valencinnes was postponed due bad weather conditions, while the visitors will only miss midfielder Ayew (10/2) who is only absentee for them, although close to recover from bad ligament rupture.
Even without Falcao, Monaco showed that they are way more serious team this season and everything except their victory would be a surprise against a side that conceded five goals at home to Nice.
