Marseille will be looking to continue their push for a Champions League spot this weekend, as they bid to bounce back from last weekend’s disappointment. Angers will be the visitors, who have little to play for after their relegation to the second tier was confirmed.
Ligue 1 Preview
Marseille sit in a prime position to finish in a Champions League spot this term, as they currently boast a six-point advantage over Monaco. They come into this fixture after suffering a defeat last weekend, but they have still won three of their previous four matches. Marseille could move back up to second in the standings this weekend if they claim maximum points in front of their home fans against Angers.
Despite suffering a 2-1 defeat against Lens last weekend, Marseille are still the team to have collected the most points in Ligue 1 since play resumed following the World Cup. But, their home record over the same period has been underwhelming, as they have picked up just 15 at the Stade Velodrome.

Angers will have little to play for over the final weeks of the season, as their relegation to the second tier has already been confirmed. They have lost each of their previous four matches coming into this fixture, and they currently have the worst defensive record in the division.
Angers have won just 14 points in the league this season, which is the lowest tally of any side in the history of Ligue 1. Furthermore, they are the only team in the division yet to win a game on the road since play resumed in the French top-flight. In nine outings away from home, they have picked up just one point.
Marseille vs Angers Head to Head
Marseille has a strong record in this fixture, as they have won three of their previous four in the league. That includes victories in each of the last two, scoring a total of eleven goals. Marseille registered a 3-0 win in the reverse clash between the sides this season, and they could achieve a first top-flight league double over Angers since the 1993-94 campaign.
Marseille vs Angers Prediction
Angers appear to be going down into the second tier with little fight. This is a testing fixture from their perspective this weekend, and Marseille should be able to win by a comfortable margin.
