Olympique Marseille - Angers SCO predictions

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Olympique Marseille. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Olympique Marseille and the fact that Angers SCO are given 12.40 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Angers SCO victory would be a shocking surprise.

Olympique Marseille were installed as the 2.61 underdogs in the last round of the Ligue 1. Despite playing away, they still managed to put up a proper fight in the first half and hit the tunnel on level terms at the break. However, they dropped the guard down in the second half and were forced to settle for a narrow Lens defeat.

Angers SCO’s previous outing was quite exciting. They snagged a 2:0 victory In a home game against Lorient, who were considered somewhat stronger going in. The fact that they were in the lead already during half-time makes the triumph even more surprising.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for Olympique Marseille, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Angers SCO’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

If they stay in their current table spot, the home team will be looking at a Champions League qualification. There’s plenty more action left in the season, though, and the leading spot looks well within grasp considering the favourable matchup they’re going into.

Angers SCO find themselves placed 15th in the standings as this Ligue 1 season enters round 10. That puts them just 2 points above the relegation zone, which is far from an admirable result. Although there’s plenty of time left to improve the impression they’re leaving, it’s hard to feel optimistic with the 12.40 odds most bookies online are offering for an away win.

The latest example of a clash between these two sides we have is from last season when Olympique Marseille managed to walk away with a solid victory and a 2+ goal difference. If the 1.23 betting odds for a home win are to be believed, most bookies are expecting them to repeat that success.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.23 odds offer a decent return.
