Marseille looking to return to winning ways after Lens loss.
Following a painful defeat at the hands of RC Lens, Olympique Marseille aim to rejuvenate their title hopes as they host relegated Angers in what promises to be a gripping clash at the Stade Vélodrome on Sunday evening.
Olympique Marseille
Marseille [DWWWL] picked up their first defeat in five games following a 2-1 loss to RC Lens at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The costly defeat saw OM slip from 2nd to 3rd place, impacting their title race.
The Olympians have 70 points after 21 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses, placing them eight points behind first-placed PSG. Heading into the weekend’s game with Lens, who are just two points ahead with 72 points, OM are looking to reclaim lost ground.
Marseille are unbeaten in four games against Angers, winning three of those encounters, including back-to-back victories in the last two. However, they have lost two of their last three Ligue 1 games against bottom-table sides when playing at home.
With just four games left, Igor Tudor will aim to get their title chase back on track with a 3-4-2-1 formation featuring Alexis Sánchez in attack. Meanwhile, Dimitri Payet could face a lengthy ban after an incident involving Franck Haise’s assistant, Yannick Cahuzac, during the last match. The 36-year-old is set to appear before a disciplinary committee on May 17.
Angers SCO
Already relegated, Angers [WLLLL] faced their fourth consecutive defeat with a 2-1 loss to Monaco at the Stade Raymond Kopa. Angers sit at the bottom of the table with just 14 points from 3 wins, 5 draws, and a staggering 26 losses, leaving them with nothing left to play for this season.
Despite their position, Angers might still aim to disrupt Marseille's title ambitions if given the chance. Les Noirs et Blancs have the worst defense in Ligue 1, conceding 74 goals so far this season after 34 games.
Furthermore, they are the only team yet to win a single match away from home since the World Cup restart, with a record of 0 wins, 1 draw, and 8 losses. Last weekend, Alexandre Dujeux employed a 3-5-2 formation with Ibrahima Niane and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya in attack against Monaco. He is not expected to make any changes to either the formation or the attacking lineup.
Meanwhile, Cédric Hountondji is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
