Position: 12th | Record: 6W 5D 9L
Angers go into this match confident after a dominant win over Strasbourg in Coupe de France, wherein Esteban Lepaul stole the show with his brace of goals. They have been inconsistent in defense, having conceded three goals in their last match, but the fact that they have secured first goals in 6 of their last 8 matches and first-half wins in 5 of their last 7 makes them quite threatening opponents.
At home, their form is mixed, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in the last five. They are disciplinary-wise, though; under 4.5 cards in 8 of the last 10 and under 10.5 corners in 8 in 10. If they get early momentum, then they can really test a Marseille side that has been quite open at back in recent games.
Olympique Marseille
Position: 2nd | Record: 12W 4D 4L
Marseille won an incredible 3-2 against Olympique Lyon, with Greenwood, Rabiot, and Luis Henrique finding the net. Offensively, they have looked really good; however, defensive solidity has looked a bit fragile, as they have allowed six goals in their last three matches. Notably, they have conceded first in each of their last five games-a fact which could give Angers hope of taking an early lead.
Marseille had earlier tried to secure the services of Endrick from Real Madrid during the winter transfer window, while also holding interest in Marcus Rashford and Mathys Tel, both of whom they failed to secure. They did, however, secure the services of Amine Gouiri from Stade Rennes for €19 million to add firepower to their already potent attack.
Marseille have been solid on the road, having won four of their last five away matches, but recent defensive vulnerabilities have meant that they cannot afford to take Angers lightly.
