Marseille Aims to Rebound Against Angers in Ligue 1 Showdown

Marseille, France — Olympique de Marseille hosts Angers in a critical Ligue 1 clash on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at Stade Velodrome. Marseille seeks to maintain its perfect home record this season and bounce back from a recent loss to Lens.

Last weekend, Marseille’s five-match winning streak was snapped with a 2-1 defeat to Lens, which allowed their lead at the top of the table to slip away. Meanwhile, Angers secured a 2-0 victory over Lorient, giving them a boost heading into the match.

This season, Marseille has been formidable at home, winning all five competitive matches at Stade Velodrome, scoring 20 goals in the process. A win midweek would mark their first six-game home winning streak since 2003.

Marseille has shown resilience when leading at halftime, securing victories in their last eight Ligue 1 home games under such conditions. They have not lost in that scenario since December 2021.

Angers comes into the match after improving their form following a rough start to October. Having endured a 5-0 loss to Strasbourg earlier in the month, they managed to earn points in their subsequent games. A win against Marseille would mark their first consecutive victories in Ligue 1 since May.

Both teams will be missing key players due to injuries. Marseille’s squad has concerns with several players, including a sore knee and calf strain affecting their lineup. Angers may also be without a couple of players dealing with injuries.

The encounter promises to be a challenging one for Angers, as they have struggled against Marseille in recent years. Marseille is unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Angers in Ligue 1, giving them a psychological edge heading into the match.

As the league’s competition heats up, both teams will look to capitalize on this opportunity to secure vital points. Whichever team emerges victorious will aim to build momentum heading into the next fixtures.
