Angers vs Marseille Predictions

Will Marseille’s Firepower Overcome Angers’ Resilience in an Explosive Encounter?

• Marseille’s games are goal-fests – Nine of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches have seen both teams score, with several ending in high-scoring thrillers.
• Angers struggle for clean sheets – They have conceded in five of their last seven league games, despite their improving form.
• Marseille’s attack is lethal – With 43 goals in 20 matches, they have their highest scoring tally at this stage of a season in over 50 years.

Best Bet for Angers vs Marseille

Marseille head into their clash with Angers on Sunday evening knowing that any further slip-ups could see them lose their grip on second place in Ligue 1. After a thrilling 3-2 win over Lyon last weekend, Roberto De Zerbi’s side have steadied the ship following a turbulent period, but with Monaco breathing down their necks just three points behind, there is little room for complacency.

Despite their recent inconsistencies, Marseille remain one of the most prolific attacking sides in the league, having found the net 43 times in 20 matches—a tally they haven’t matched at this stage of a season in over five decades. However, their defensive lapses have often turned matches into chaotic, high-scoring affairs.

Angers, meanwhile, may be sitting in 12th place, but they are a side in strong form, collecting 10 points in Ligue 1 since the start of 2025—the joint-highest total in the division. Their home record has been impressive of late, with two wins and a draw in their last three matches at the Stade Raymond Kopa, and they will be eager to extend that run. Having also knocked Strasbourg out of the Coupe de France in midweek, momentum is certainly on their side.

Given both teams’ strengths and weaknesses, this promises to be a fascinating contest, one that could see goals flowing at both ends.

Best Bet for Angers vs Marseille: Over 3.5 Goals

Why This Bet Offers Value

Marseille’s games this season have rarely been dull. Their last league outing against Lyon saw five goals, and they have been involved in numerous high-scoring matches. Across their last 11 Ligue 1 fixtures, nine have seen both teams scoring, while they have netted at least three times in seven of their 20 league matches. De Zerbi’s system encourages attacking football, but it comes at a cost—Marseille are vulnerable at the back and have conceded in each of their last two league away games.

Angers, despite being a mid-table side, have shown a real ability to find the back of the net, particularly at home. They grabbed a dramatic last-minute equaliser in their 1-1 draw against Le Havre, while their 3-1 win away at Strasbourg in the cup highlighted their attacking intent. Defensively, however, they are far from secure. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last seven Ligue 1 matches, which does not bode well against a Marseille side that loves to attack.

Our expert Emmanuel Nwankwo summarises the reasoning behind this bet perfectly:

“Marseille are an unpredictable force this season—brilliant in attack but always leaving the door open at the back. Angers have shown enough attacking quality at home to trouble them, making this an ideal match for goals. Expect fireworks.”

With both teams’ tendencies to concede and score in equal measure, a 2-2 draw seems a very realistic outcome. Marseille have the firepower to get on the scoresheet multiple times, but Angers’ strong home form and recent performances suggest they will not go down easily.
