A barren draw in the reverse fixture sets the stage for a tough duel in this Ligue 1 fixture pitting Marseille and Angers at the Orange Velodrome. There have been two such outcomes in the last five meetings, during which three games also registered goals on one end of the pitch. Moreover, in the last five encounters, Marseille registered two victories while Angers bagged one win. The visitors have registered only two wins against Marseille in 13 meetings. Only one away victory against Marseille way back in September 2015 is a vital stat to consider in this game.
Coming to this match, Marseille recorded 3W, 1D and 1L in their last five matches. Within that time, the hosts registered only two clean sheets. On the flip-side, Angers comes to this game with 1W, 1D and 3L. The visitors boast only one clean in their last five games, which should be a big worry for head coach, Gerald Baticle. The managers of these teams have met once, which was in the reverse fixture that ended without a breakthrough.
The latest team news from the hosts is that left winger and midfielder, Konrad de la Fuente still sidelined for this game due to physical discomfort. Dieng and Gueye is participating in AFCON 2022 for Senegal while Gerson is away taking part in South America’s CONMEBOL tournament. The visitors will be without Thomas and Khaled, who are both sidelined with various injuries. Thomas will particularly be missed in this fixture, given his outstanding performance in the last ten matches. Angers will also be without Ebosse, Ouahi, Boufal and Bahoken, all of whom are on international duty at the AFCON.
Marseille predicted lineup: Lopez, Saliba, Lirola, Caleta-Car, Peres, Guendouzi, Rongier, Kamara, Under, Payet and Henrique.
Angers predicted lineup: Petkovic, Mendy, Traore, Manceau, Cabot, Bentaleb, Mangani, Fulgini, Lage, Brahimi and Ninga.
