Marseille vs Angers prediction
Marseille
Marseille has been having a pretty successful season so far. Yes, in the last round the team lost not to the strongest opponent — 0:1 from Strasbourg. But it was Marseille's first setback of the season. Before that, de Derby's wards had lost points only once — 2-2 with Reims.
In all other matches, Marseille won, often did it confidently, scoring a lot. So, Brest (5:1) and Toulouse (3:1) were defeated by the team. There were also difficult confrontations, from which the "Provencals" emerged victorious — 3:2 with Lyon. In the table, de Derby's wards naturally go quite high — in third place, three points behind the leaders. There is no doubt that the team will try to succeed in attack on its own field. And anyway, the Marseillais urgently need to rehabilitate themselves for the last defeat.
Angers
Angers have the opposite situation in the French championship. The team does not have a single victory on its account — four defeats and two draws. And it cannot be said that during this period the "scaists" suffered failures only with strong rivals — 1:1 with Strasbourg and Nantes, 1:3 with Reims. Of course, with such results, Angers could not count on a high position in the league. He is in last place and already has a slight gap from the opponents above. Angers cannot win 10 matches in a row (if we take friendly games as well). But the team concedes an average of two goals per match. In general, in their last 5 matches, Angers got only two draws. In these matches, the team's players scored 4 goals with 11 goals conceded in their own goal.
Prediction
The statistics of recent personal meetings are completely on the side of De Derby's wards. Marseille won 4 out of 5 games. There are also crushing results of 5:2 and 3:0 in this list. Another meeting ended in a draw. As for Angers, there is a weak physical fitness of the players. This adds even more difficulties to the team, because new names are constantly appearing on the injured list. The team led by Alexandre Dujo remains the only one who has not yet managed to win a single victory this season. It will also be difficult to do this in the upcoming match, because you will have to play away from one of the leaders of the standings. At home against a team that does not yet know the taste of victories this season, Marseille hopes to return to the path of victory. at the Velodrome, Olimpik now has a series of five matches without defeats in the championship and in each of these matches the team scored at least two goals. Only 15 goals in the opening five rounds is the best score for Marseille in 70 years, so against Angers, De Derby's wards will try to prove that the game with Strasbourg was just an annoying episode. I suggest taking f1(-1.5)!
