Marseille - WDWWWL
Rubén Blanco (Ankle injury) and Faris Moumbagna (Cruciate ligament tear) are unavailable for Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi.
It’s our opinion that Les Olympiens will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, handing starts to Geronimo Rulli, Michael Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Derek Cornelius, Lilian Brassier, P. Hoejbjerg, Ismael Kone, Mason Greenwood, Amine Harit, Luis Henrique and Neal Maupay.
Marseille won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 1-0 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Strasbourg.
In that match, Marseille managed 59% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Strasbourg had 14 shots at goal with 6 on target. Diego Moreira (40') scored for Strasbourg.
Matches featuring Marseille have proved to be engaging encounters lately with high scoring anticipated. Over their past six games, the sum of 22 goals have flown in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.67 goals per game) with 15 of these accredited to Marseille.
Pre-game facts show that Marseille:
have not been beaten in the league by Angers SCO in their last 5 games.
are undefeated in their last 5 league matches at home.
Angers SCO - LLLDDL
Angers SCO manager Alexandre Dujeux has some current player fitness concerns. Joseph Lopy (Knock), Jacques Ekomié (Knee injury) and Justin-Noël Kalumba (Broken ankle) are not able to play.
It’s our belief that Les Scoïstes appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Yahia Fofana, Carlens Arcus, Emmanuel Biumla, Jordan Lefort, Florent Hanin, Jean Aholou, Haris Belkebla, Jim Allevinah, Himad Abdelli, Zinedine Ferhat and Esteban Lepaul.
Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Reims in Ligue 1 competition, Angers SCO will be aiming to make amends here.
In that match, Angers SCO had 53% possession and 14 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player to score for Angers SCO was Zinedine Ferhat (84'). Reims got 21 attempts on goal with 10 of them on target. Keito Nakamura (9'), Junya Ito (25') and Marshall Munetsi (79') scored for Reims.
The stats tell the story, and Angers SCO have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 12 goals in total. At the back, Angers SCO can certainly do much better. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will end up being continued on here.
Their past results show that Angers SCO:
have left without a victory over Marseille when they have played them away from home in the previous 7 league matches. Not the best of away records.
are without an away win for the past 2 league matches
Marseille possible starting lineup:
Rulli; Murillo, Balerdi, Cornelius, Brassier; Kondogbia, Hojbjerg; Greenwood, Harit, Luis Henrique; Maupay
Angers possible starting lineup:
Fofana; Arcus, Biumia, Lefort, Hanin; Aholou, Belkebla, Abdelli; Allevinah, El Melali, Ferhat
Marseille vs Angers Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*The two teams have met 62 times in all competitions. The hosts have the upper hand in these meetings with 27 wins. Les Noirs et Blancs have 17 wins to their name and 18 games have ended in draws.
*Les Phocéens are unbeaten in their last five meetings against the visitors, scoring at least three goals in four games in that period.
*The two teams last met in the 2022-23 Ligue 1 campaign and Marseille secured a league double with a 6-1 win on aggregate.
*Angers are winless in their last 17 away games in Ligue 1, suffering 14 losses and failing to score in 10 games in that period.
*The visitors have won just one of their last 15 league meetings against Les Phocéens. They have suffered three consecutive losses in this fixture and have never suffered four losses in a row against the hosts
Prediction: Marseille 4-0 Angers
A hapless Angers side have been leaking goals for fun at a similar rate to which Marseille have been scoring them, so there only looks like one winner in this contest. The host's defeat last weekend should not be too demoralising, considering how good their start has been, and they are set to close the gap on the two sides above them here.
