Monaco and Marseille Clash in Early Season Title Test
Second-placed Marseille travel to the Stade Louis II looking to maintain their perfect start, while fifth-placed Monaco aim to extend a phenomenal six-game winning run in Ligue 1.
Monaco enter this fixture as the division's form side, having won six consecutive league matches, including a 1-0 victory over Le Havre last weekend thanks to a goal from Eric Dier. Currently fifth and holding a continental spot, the Principality club have already claimed scalps against Lyon, Lens, and PSG during this hot streak.
Marseille sit second in the table after a dominant 4-0 opening weekend win over Strasbourg. Having scored four goals in their first fixture, they remain firmly in the early title race, trailing the leaders by only a single point. However, their away form has been patchy, with three losses in their last five matches on the road.
