Marseille Preview – Can Marseille close the gap on PSG?
Marseille head into this Saturday’s encounter at their Orange Vélodrome in great shape having won 8 of their last 9 matches overall in the French top flight, an impressive sequence of results which has placed them 2nd in Ligue 1 but trail leaders, PSG, by 8 points ahead of the weekend’s action.
Nevertheless, Marseille have produced an impressive set of results under former Tottenham and Chelsea manager, Andre Villas-Boas, which includes wins against Lille and Lyon as well as a 3-0 win away from home against Saturday’s opponents, Angers, in the corresponding fixture back in early December.
Results at home have also been impressive as the hosts have racked up 6 wins on the trot, scoring 14 goals in the process and conceding just 5 in reply amidst an overall home record which stands at a solid looking 7-2-1 17/9.
The bigger picture shows that Marseille have suffered just 3 defeats out of their last 19 matches at home in Ligue 1.
Angers Preview – Can Angers take advantage?
Such is the congested state of the middle of the table in Ligue 1 that all three points for 10th placed Angers would see them jump up into 5th spot as the visitors look to get a jump on the rest of the competition in this clash.
However, this may very well be easier said than done as they’re up against an in-form Marseille outfit who are enjoying a hot streak of form at the minute, while Angers have managed to collect just 1 win out of their last 6 matches overall in the French top flight.
That one success came in the shape of a 2-1 win away from home at Nantes, but defeats to Nice, Marseille and Rennes have meant that Angers have only really been treading water in the middle of Ligue 1 without making an impact upon the top half of the division.
An away record of 2-2-5 7/18 is below expectations and they’ve collected just 1 win from their last 6 matches on the road, while failing to score in 4 of their 9 away matches to date this term.
