Angers vs Marseille predictions: Hosts to draw first blood
Key stats
- Angers opened the scoring in six of their last eight matches.
- In contrast, Marseille have conceded first in five consecutive games.
- Five of the last seven encounters between these outfits featured goals at both ends.
- Marseille are unbeaten in their last six skirmishes with Angers.
Correct score prediction: Angers 1-2 Marseille
To be fair, Angers have been impressive in recent weeks, winning six of their last eight games in all competitions (D1, L1). However, they have a poor track record against Marseille, having lost three of the last four clashes between these teams.
Keeping in mind that Marseille won 11 of their last 13 away games, we are leaning towards the visitors for the victory.

- HOME: 17/4 (5.25) – 19%
- DRAW: 29/10 (3.90) – 25.6%
- AWAY: 8/13 (1.62) – 61.9%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Marseille have been one of the best travellers in the French top flight this season, winning eight of 10 league matches away from home. They are up against an Angers side that managed only three wins at home.
At the time of publishing, Marseille are second in the French Ligue 1, while Angers are just five points above the relegation zone, in 12th place.

Player to watch: Esteban Lepaul
Esteban Lepaul put in a man-of-the-match performance earlier this week, scoring a brace in Angers' 3-1 victory at Strasbourg in the Coupe de France. The 24-year-old has now scored eight times in his last eight appearances in all competitions. It will be interesting to see how he performs this weekend.
