Angers vs Marseille prediction: Comfortable OM victory
Key stats
- Angers have lost back-to-back competitive fixtures.
- Les Scoistes have scored the 18 goals in 17 Ligue 1 games.
- Marseille have lost half of their away trips this Ligue 1 season (W4, L4).
- OM have drawn only one of their last 27 away top-flight matches.
Correct score prediction: Angers 1-3 Marseille
Angers enter this round three points better off than at this stage last season, thanks to just two losses across their last six outings (W4). Alexandre Dujeux’s side, however, were knocked out of the Coupe de France in their latest match, as Toulouse progressed after a penalty shootout victory.
Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille bounced back from successive defeats with a 9-0 win over Bayeux in the French Cup, and will now look to focus on getting their domestic season back on track as they sit in third position.
The visitors are certainly the favourites to grab all three points in this matchup, as Angers risk falling to their 12th winless Ligue 1 game this campaign.
Pre-game odds and win probability: OM for the win
- HOME: 17/4 (5.25) – 19%
- DRAW: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%
- AWAY: 3/5 (1.60) – 62.5%

Player to watch: Mason Greenwood
Although Marseille have slipped up occasionally this season, Greenwood has been a gamechanger with 19 goals and six assists in 25 appearances, including five goal contributions in the recent 9-0 win over Bayeux in the Coupe de France. 11 of those strikes have come in Ligue 1, and Greenwood will be hungry to extend his domestic goalscoring streak.
