Angers vs Marseille Prediction 9 February 2025

🔊 What are the chances of witnessing an upset in this match? In the 21st round of Ligue 1, a match between Angers and Marseille will take place. Obviously, one of the league leaders will play the role of the favorite. However, the "black and whites" are showing such inspired and quality play that they can compete even with such a serious opponent. Although in terms of stability during the season, they cannot compete with Olympique Marseille, as it is a comparison between the 2nd and 12th teams in the league. You can find out what to expect from this confrontation in the editorial prediction.

📊 H2H

Marseille has won five times in the last ten encounters with Angers, losing only once. However, Olympique does not always have a clear advantage in every game, and in five of the last seven matches between these teams, both sides managed to score. So, a bet on Both Teams to Score: Yes seems to be a good choice.

⚫ Angers

This calendar year is turning out to be extremely successful for Angers. If in 2024 the team performed poorly and only occasionally scored points, the situation has now changed dramatically. The "black and whites" have gained ten points in the last five rounds of Ligue 1 and have risen to 12th place in the standings, which can already be considered a decent achievement. And reaching the quarter-finals of the French Cup gives hope that they can aim for a trophy this season.

Everything is going quite smoothly in terms of the players' physical condition. Only defender Shabanovic is in the infirmary. Of course, there are a few other players whose readiness remains in question. But even if they do not play in the next match, they will still be able to return to the field soon.

Ⓜ Marseille

Marseille does not lose hope of catching up with Paris Saint-Germain, even though it seems almost impossible. De Zerbi's team plays brightly and interestingly, creating many dangerous moments at their opponents' goals. In the previous round, Greenwood and company were on fire in the derby against Lyon (3:2), showing excellent attacking play. They easily penetrate their opponents' penalty area and score a lot, only trailing PSG in terms of scoring.

Goalkeeper Blanco, midfielder Carboni, and forward Mumbanya are the full list of players who will definitely not play for Marseille in the next match. Additionally, two important midfield players Arit and Kondogbia are close to recovering from their injuries and will soon be ready to help their team.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Marseille scores more than two goals on average in the 2024/25 season (43 goals in 20 Ligue 1 rounds). Previous home matches against league leaders have not ended well for Angers: the "black and whites" lost to both PSG (2:4) and Lyon (0:3). Therefore, we suggest betting on Marseille Individual Total Goals Over 1.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Angers averages only three corners per game, while Lyon's goal sees just 3.1 corners per match. This statistic suggests considering a bet on Angers Individual Total Corners Under 3.5.

📝 Match Prediction

Angers is on a high right now, especially after their success in reaching the quarter-finals of the French Cup. But they had to exert a lot of effort, and there wasn't much time to rest. Marseille, on the other hand, is charged with positive emotions after their excellent game against Lyon and is ready to continue securing victory after victory. We believe that Marseille will win with a score of 3:1.

It is unlikely that Angers will be able to withstand the onslaught of such a strong opponent. The attack of the "Provençals" leaves a very pleasant impression. The creativity of the players is off the charts, and their finishing rarely lets them down. Therefore, we recommend betting on Marseille Individual Total Goals Over 1.5.
