Olympique Marseille vs. Angers: preview and betting tips

Marseille play Angers in the French Ligue 1. It will be a clash between the third team fighting for the Champions League and a mid-table team that is far from qualifying for the European Cups, but also far from relegation.

At home, Marseille are currently in third place, which guarantees qualification for the Champions League preliminary round, two points behind direct qualification. It can perhaps only dream of the title, as PSG have a thirteen-point lead.

Olympique Marseille has played 22 games in the league and earned 40 points with a score of 31::18. In the last five league games, it has managed to win twice, draw twice and lose once.

Visiting Angers are in twelfth place in the league. It managed to get 29 points. They are ten points above the relegation zone. If it wishes to play on the European stage next season, it must work hard, it is 5 points behind the place securing the European Conference League.

However, its current form is not good. In the last five league games it has won one, drawn once and lost three times. The latest defeat came at the hands of the last team in the league.

The home team can count on the great support of the fans to drive them forward. The form of Dimitri Payet, who is Marseille’s most productive player, will also be an important aspect of the match.

Payet has managed to score 8 goals in the league so far and has also recorded 9 assists. Getting 17 points in 19 games is a fantastic record. If he is doing well, so is his whole team.

Moving up to second place, which guarantees direct qualification to the Champions League, will be a great motivation for Marseille. Angers certainly don’t want to come here for a defeat, but they won’t be able to resist the pressure from the home side.
