Angers take on the visitors Marseille in the round 9 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, September 30th at Stade Raymond-Kopa (Angers).
Angers have recently boasted of 2 things. Firstly, in 2017 he reached the cup final, only for the 2nd time in his history (even if both times it ended unsuccessfully). Secondly, having entered Ligue 1 in 2015, the Scotiens manage to stay there stably for many years now. Yes, they have never even repeated the result of their debut, with the 9th final place, but, most importantly, they consistently manage to win the fight for survival. So last season there was another take of the 14th position - it was quite enough to secure a “residence permit”, even if this was the worst result in 4 seasons. The new start was difficult for the wards of Gerard Baticle, they lost four times in a row in the first rounds with Nantes and Auxerre. But in the fall they were able to dramatically improve their situation. First, the team defeated Montpellier at home, and then unexpectedly took 3 points on the Nice field.

Marseille have recently been constantly featured in scandals. Not in the best way parting with Villas-Boas, Jorge Sampaoli was called to the coaching post. And the Argentinean did a brilliant job, making his wards vice-champions of France. But after that, the mentor managed to quarrel with the leadership on the issue of transfers, and left the project. Olympique made a bet on Igor Tudor. The French with the Croat are not impressing in the Champions League, where they lost not only to Tottenham on the road, but also to Eintracht at home. But on the other hand, in the domestic arena, the Provencals won 6 out of 7 starting matches (except 1-1 with Brest), including 5 in a row. And only in the last round they made a misfire, sharing the points at home with Rennes. But even after this misfire, Marseille still holds the 2nd position. And the newcomers, Nuno Tavares and Alexis Sanchez, already have 7 goals for two!
Marseille took 7 points out of 9 possible in the last head-to-head matches. On the other hand, Angers won at home in 2020 and held 0-0 a year ago. Bookmakers do not believe that even at home, Angers will be able to get hold of at least a point this time. We recommend betting on the victory of Marseille in this confrontation.
Prediction for the match: Marseille to win.
