## Our Prediction

Two of France’s most attack-minded sides, both in rich form, meeting at one of European football’s most electric venues. Marseille’s home unbeaten record is a compelling factor, and Greenwood will be desperate to add to his tally. But Monaco’s five-game winning streak and Balogun’s hot streak cannot be ignored. This has the makings of a genuine thriller — goals at both ends are near certain.

**Predicted Score: Marseille 2–2 Monaco**
