"Likewise, watching their five-match winning run come to an abrupt end earlier in the month as they slumped to another 2-1 loss against Sporting Lisbon while in Champions League action, Roberto De Zerbi's side have suffered consecutive defeats for the first time since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. However, marking their return from October's international break with a dramatic 6-2 victory against Le Havre, the former Brighton boss is still dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine Ligue 1 title charge this season."
"As for the visitors, managing to claim an essential boost over the weekend as they secured a 2-0 victory at home against Lorient, Angers will be desperate to use that gritty performance as a platform to build on. However, heading into October's fortnight interval with a 5-0 drumming away at Strasbourg, Alexandre Dujeux's side are still at the heart of a relegation scrap."
"Getting Wednesday's showdown underway holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, Les Scoistes have mustered just a single victory from any of their previous eight Ligue 1 showdowns - a run that stems all the way back to the opening weekend. Pencilled in as a landslide underdog when they travel to the Stade Velodrome here, Angers have continued to show some glaring issues"
Marseille seek an immediate response after a 2-1 defeat at Lens and consecutive losses, having also been beaten 2-1 by Sporting Lisbon in Champions League action. Roberto De Zerbi's side returned from the international break with a 6-2 win over Le Havre and remain intent on mounting a Ligue 1 title challenge. Defensive issues persist, but Marseille have dominated at the Stade Velodrome, winning their first five home matches by an aggregate 20-4. Angers earned a 2-0 victory over Lorient but remain embroiled in a relegation scrap after a 5-0 loss at Strasbourg and just one win in eight league games.
