Baptism of Fire: Gattuso’s Debut Against High-Flying Monaco
Key Stats
– Marseille, under Marcelino, remained unbeaten in their first five games.
– Both teams have a goal conceded average of 1.3, yet Monaco’s attacking prowess stands out with 2.5 goals per game.
In the latest round of Ligue 1 action, Gennaro Gattuso will be in the spotlight as he makes his managerial debut for Marseille. Taking the reins at Marseille is no small task, especially when you consider the team’s recent 4-0 drubbing by PSG. Gattuso’s task at hand is to turn things around and bring some semblance of order to a team that has been rocked by off-field controversies and managerial exits.
Monaco’s High Scoring Form
Monaco, on the other hand, experienced a minor setback with a 1-0 loss to Nice. However, Adi Hutter’s Monaco has been a force to be reckoned with this season. With 15 goals from their first six matches, they’ve showcased their firepower, maintaining an average of three goals per game in the first five matches.

This places them firmly at the top of the goal-scoring charts in Ligue 1.
Marseille’s Rocky Road
Marseille had a solid start under Marcelino, remaining unbeaten in their first five matches. However, with Marcelino’s exit and a crushing defeat to PSG, the team’s momentum has been severely halted. Notably, in their game against PSG, Marseille failed to muster a single shot on target and saw a meagre 23% ball possession, indicating deeper issues that Gattuso must address.
Team News and Possible Lineups
Monaco faces injury concerns with multiple players like Eliesse Ben Seghir and Caio Henrique sidelined. Yet, their attacking prowess is evident, with players like Takumi Minamino and Aleksandr Golovin having a fantastic season so far.
Gattuso’s team selection for Marseille remains uncertain. While some new signings may miss out, he is expected to place his trust in experienced stalwarts like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Jordan Veretout.
