Angers vs Marseille Prediction & Betting Tips (17 January)

In good shape when closing the year 2025 with victories in the Championship against Nice 0-1 and Nantes 4-1, Angers left Le Havre empty-handed 2-1 upon returning from the winter break. The Anjou club at least remains out of danger in the fight for survival at the end of the first leg. The 10th in Ligue 1 hoped to make up for this blunder in the Coupe de France, last weekend against Toulouse, but he lost on penalties in this 16th final 1-1, 5-6 TAB. Olympique de Marseille completed the Ligue 1 podium before the weekend's matches.

Its surprising defeat at the start of the year against Nantes 0-2, however, seriously reduced its chances of competing with Lens 1st and PSG 2nd in the title race. If they did not manage to recover in the Champions Trophy, in an indecisive final against their Parisian rival 2-2, 4-1 TAB, the Phocéens found color at the start of the week in the Coupe de France. Opposed to the Regional 1 club of Bayeux, they signed a 0-9 demonstration. 

The SCO has recovered its starters Koffi (goalkeeper), Camara (central defender) and Abdelli (attacking midfielder, 2 goals in L1), returned from the CAN. The latter, however, would have agreed with OM on a transfer this winter. In the absence of an agreement between Angers and the opponent of the day, the Algerian is still Angevin and should be in the game. In the recovery phase, the young attackers Chérif (4 goals in L1) and Peter (3 goals in L1) could participate in this shock. Despite the elimination in the Coupe de France, the 16th final was the scene of Sbaï's first goal.

 Marseille is harmed defensively by the absence of Aguerd, who will play the CAN final on Sunday with Morocco. Downgraded attacking midfielder Angel Gomes is uncertain and the talented Vaz (4 goals in L1) has officially signed up with AS Roma, which will offer one less alternative to Roberto De Zerbi in attack despite the return from injury of Gouiri, a double scorer in the Coupe de France. During this meeting, Greenwood put himself in the forefront with a hat-trick. The striker is the top scorer in the Championship with 11 goals.
