Monaco and Marseille meet in Ligue 1 on 29 August at 19:30, with both sides making strong starts to the new season. Monaco progressed through European qualifying rounds before opening their domestic campaign with a win over Le Havre, while also conducting significant summer business that saw over €100 million in player sales offset by arrivals including Ablina from Nantes and a full contract for Fati. Marseille, under new manager Gennaro Gattuso, made an emphatic statement by demolishing Strasbourg in their opener, playing the final half-hour with a numerical advantage.
