Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

This game will be a really harsh test for Angers, who are nailed to the bottom of the table.

Olympique Marseille Preview

Olympic Marseille Predicted Line-up - Geronimo Rulli; Michael Murillo, Leonardo Balerdi, Derek Cornelius, Lilian Brassier; Geoffrey Kondogbia, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg; Mason Greenwood, Amine Harit, Luis Henrique; Neal Maupay

Marseille have really clicked under Roberto de Zerbi, who’s continuing to show the promise he demonstrated at Brighton and Hove Albion.

Had the hosts not blanked for the first time against Strasbourg last time out, they’d be level on points with both PSG and Monaco. A 7-0 win (unlikely) would have the same effect on Friday.

Greenwood and Henrique will be key in this fixture, showing their lethal streak in front of goal so far this season.

Angers SCO Preview

Angers SCO Predicted Line-up - Fofana; Arcus, Biumia, Lefort, Hanin; Aholou, Belkebla, Abdelli; Allevinah, El Melali, Ferhat

Angers, following their promotion back from Ligue 2, have continued just how they left off in Ligue 1. Badly.

They’re nailed to the foot of the table with just two points, and don’t look like moving anytime soon. We’d expect they’ll dig in deep and look for a draw in this game.

Yahia Fofana, although conceding 12 so far, will be key in goal while they look for a result.

We think overall the best value tip is half time draw/full time Marseille, backed up by our research.
