Marseille vs Angers Prediction and Betting Tips | October 4th 2024

Marseille will invite Angers to the Stade Vélodrome in Ligue 1 on Friday. The hosts have won four of their six league games thus far and are in third place in the league table with 13 points. Les Noirs et Blancs have endured a winless start to their campaign and are in the last place in the standings.

Les Phocéens saw their unbeaten start to the season ended on Sunday as they suffered a 1-0 away loss to Strasbourg. They also failed to score for the first time this season in that loss and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

The visitors saw their unbeaten streak in the league ended after just two games last week, suffering a 3-1 home loss to Reims. Zinedine Ferhat scored the consolation goal in the 84th minute with Farid El Melali picking up the assist.

Marseille vs Angers Prediction

Les Phocéens suffered their first loss of the season on Sunday and will look to bounce back with a win at home. They have suffered just one loss at home since August 2023 and are unbeaten at home in this fixture since 2015.

Roberto De Zerbi will be without the services of Ismaël Koné, who was injured against Strasbourg last week. Valentin Rongier was absent against Strasbourg and he faces a late fitness test.

Les Noirs et Blancs suffered a defeat after back-to-back draws last week. They have scored one goal each in their last four league games and will look to continue their goalscoring form here. They have lost four of their last five meetings against the hosts, failing to score in two games.

Justin Kalumba and Sidiki Cherif are the two confirmed absentees for them here and former Marseille attacker Bamba Dieng is also fit enough to start.

Considering the current form of the two teams and Les Phocéens' unbeaten home record this season, we back the hosts to record a win.
