Marseille

WDWWWL

Marseille will be hoping for a better result following the 1-0 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Strasbourg.

In that game, Marseille managed 59% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target. At the other end, Strasbourg had 14 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Diego Moreira (40') was the scorer 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 ⚠

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Reims in Ligue 1 competition, Angers SCO and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, Angers SCO managed 53% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Angers SCO was Zinedine Ferhat (84'). For their opponents, Reims had 21 shots 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.

🗞️ Team News: Marseille

Faris Moumbagna (Cruciate ligament tear) and Rubén Blanco (Ankle injury) will be missing for Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi.

It’s our opinion that Les Olympiens look set to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, utilising Geronimo Rulli, Michael Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Derek Cornelius, Ulisses Garcia, P. Hoejbjerg, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Mason Greenwood, Valentin Carboni, Luis Henrique and Neal Maupay.

🗞️ Team News: Angers SCO

Angers SCO boss Alexandre Dujeux has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Justin-Noël Kalumba (Broken ankle), Joseph Lopy (Knock) and Jacques Ekomié (Knee injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

From our viewpoint, Les Scoïstes could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Yahia Fofana, Lilian Rao-Lisoa, Emmanuel Biumla, Jordan Lefort, Florent Hanin, Jean Aholou, Haris Belkebla, Zinedine Ferhat, Himad Abdelli, Farid El Melali and Ibrahima Niane.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Angers SCO should get enough chances to break down this Marseille side, although it is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for Marseille by the conclusion of the game. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
