Marseille vs Angers Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts are on the heels of both AS Monaco & PSG.

Marseille will host bottom-of-the-table Angers in this weekend’s opening Ligue 1 clash with the hope of jumping to the top of the table. Les Phoceens will look to bounce back to winning ways after falling short against Strasbourg away from home in their first defeat of the season. With four wins, a draw and a defeat, they are ranked third on the table with 13 points in hand.

Angers on the other hand have struggled big time this season. They are yet to win a game and have lost four out of their six opening games. With two draws so far, the Blacks and Whites have managed to get just two points on the board and hold the prime relegation spot. They need to pull off a miracle in order to pick themselves up from here.

Players to watch 

Mason Greenwood (Marseille)

Mason Greenwood has hit the ground running since his move to France from Manchester United over the summer. The English forward has been a consistent performer for Marseille and has found the back of the net five times in six outings. His pace, finishing abilities and goalscoring instincts play a crucial role in breaking down defences. 

Himad Abdelli (Angers)

Himas Abdelli is one of Anger’s most influential players. His creativity and vision make him an undisputed starter for the Black and Whites. The Algerian midfielder has scored two goals and is Angers’ top scorer this Ligue 1 season. His ability to unlock defences and execute key passes will come in very handy for Angers going forward.
