Marseille vs Angers prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-10-28 20:05.
[p]Marseille will see this game against bottom-half Angers as a good opportunity to quickly bounce back from losing their place at the top of Ligue 1.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After their damaging 2-1 defeat to Lens on Saturday, Marseille dropped below both PSG and Lens, slipping from the top of the table as they suffered their first loss in six league fixtures (W5). This followed a 2-1 Champions League defeat to Sporting Lisbon, so Les Phocéens will be eager to bounce back when they return to the Stade Vélodrome, where they’ve racked up nine straight competitive wins and shown real bite by scoring at least four times in three of their four Ligue 1 wins here this term.[/p]
[p]Angers face a daunting challenge to keep out such a potent attack, yet they arrive buoyed by claiming their second league win of the season – and first since matchday one – by beating Lorient 2-0 on Sunday to end the matchday having lifted themselves out of the bottom three (W2, D3, L4). While they’ll take the positives from that victory, both of those wins were at home, which highlights how Les ScoĂŻstes have struggled on the road this term (D1, L3), and going back a little further, they’ve also lost four of their last five Ligue 1 road games without scoring (D1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Marseille are unbeaten in 16 of the last 17 H2Hs (W8, D8), including four wins in the last five (D1), while they haven’t lost a home H2H since 2015 (W4, D4).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Three of Marseille’s last four league games produced exactly three goals.[/p]
[p]Marseille have scored a pre-round joint-league high six times after the 75th minute in Ligue 1 home games this term.[/p]
[p]Eight of Angers’ nine league games this term produced under 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]No team has conceded first more often than Angers in Ligue 1 this season (seven times).[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Mason Greenwood has scored six times across Marseille’s last five games, and netted before half-time in all five of his goalscoring outings this term. Sidiki Cherif has netted in both of Angers’ last two games, and his last three goals arrived after the 50th minute.[/p]
[p]Timothy Weah was withdrawn early in the second half against Lens due to injury so will be a doubtful starter here, as will Angers’ Prosper Peter, as he too made an early exit during the weekend’s action.[/p]
