Fourth-placed Monaco will be aiming to get back to winning ways when they host eighth-placed Marseille this weekend. This Ligue 1 match at Stade Louis-II will be played on Saturday with the hosts two points adrift of the top-spot while the visitors are two points behind them. Monaco have seen their unbeaten start to the season come a cropper in a 1-0 loss to Nice last time out. That made it two straight games without a win, coming after a 2-2 draw at Lorient.  This meant that their start of 10 points from the opening four games is now under threat. As they look to improve that, a quick look at their home form suggests despite that defeat to Nice, Monaco should enjoy playing in front of fans.

Marseille are no different in terms of recent form, having lost 4-0 to PSG in their last game. That made it three games for them without a win in the league, as it came on the back of draws against Nantes and Toulouse. The fact that they are still two points behind their hosts and could even replace them with a win here should be enticing enough. The worry for the traveling fans though, is the fact that Marseille have struggled on the road this season. They drew at Metz and Nantes before being thrashed by PSG last time out.
