Marseille Still Fighting for 2nd With a Win Over Angers
Olympique Marseille vs Angers SCO - 14/05/2023
2012
Marseille will be hoping for all three points at home to Angers this Sunday night with the club dropping into third in Ligue 1 after a defeat to Lens last time out with Angers already relegated from the top flight.
Angers have been down and out in Ligue 1 for a number of weeks already. In fact, they were the first team to be relegated across Europe's top five leagues with them now sitting 20 points behind Auxerre in the safe spot of 16th with just 12 points left on the board.
In the weeks since getting relegated, things have only got worse for them.
The club did secure a 1-0 win over Lille five weeks ago, but ever since, the club have lost 2-1 to Clermont Foot, 2-1 to Paris Saint-Germain, 4-2 to Rennes and 2-1 to Monaco last weekend.
On a positive note, they have managed to score at least one goal in all of the past six games, although this has still seen them let in 12 and pick up just four points.
Angers now sit with only three wins on the board and five draws too, which now means they have lost 26 times in Ligue 1.
Worse yet, they've scored just 28 goals this season and let in 74 throughout the 34 games in Ligue 1.
As for Marseille, they still have everything to play for after a loss to Lens in the league last time out. The defeat sent them into third and Lens into second, as Dimitri Payet scored late on in the game of a 2-1 defeat.
Marseille also defeated Auxerre, Lyon and Troyes before this and drew with Montpellier and Lorient throughout April too.
There is just a two-point gap on Lens to make up in second and with the top two only getting Champions League football, it makes these last four games for Marseille incredibly important in order to get back amongst Europe's elite for next season.
These two clubs met way back at the start of the season in September in a game that saw Marseille ease to all three points.
The club saw Jonathan Clauss, Luis Suarez and Gerson all score a goal each in a 3-0 win.
Marseille are expected to win again here and Forebet predicts an easy victory and over 2.5 goals in the game, as the misery gets heaped on a terrible Angers side.
