Do not see the podium moving away. AS Monaco hosts Olympique de Marseille at the Louis-II stadium on Sunday, November 13, at the end of the 15th day of Ligue 1. While the two teams are respectively fourth and fifth, neck and neck in the league, a loss would relegate the loser to at least three points from the podium.
A week before the start of the World Cup, three French midfielders selected by Didier Deschamps to compete in the competition should be on the lawn: the Monegasque Youssouf Fofana, but also the Marseillais Mattéo Guendouzi and Jordan Veretout. We will have to shine on Sunday to send a signal to the competition when a starting place in Blue still seems vacant. The unsummoned, disappointed, like Jonathan Clauss, Wissam Ben Yedder, Benoit Badiashile or even Axel Disasi could, with pride, want to prove to the coach that he made a mistake.
Last week, the Phocaeans of Igor Tudor put an end to their negative spiral against Lyon (1-0) but the club of the principality shows great confidence. Qualified for the Europa League play-offs in February (against Leverkusen), AS Monaco have three wins in a row, including a very solid performance in Toulouse in the last match (0-2).
