The Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Marseille take on Angers on Wednesday. Both teams have improved in recent months and will need to step up in this fixture.

Angers are in fourth place in the Ligue 1 standings at the moment and have an outside chance of securing European qualification this season. The home side suffered a 4-1 defeat against Nantes last week and will want to bounce back in this match.

Marseille, on the other hand, are one of only four unbeaten teams in Ligue 1 this season and will want to maintain their impeccable form. Les Phoceens have improved under Jorge Sampaoli and will have their sights set on the Ligue 1 title this season.

Marseille have a slight edge over Angers and have won four out of 13 matches played between the two teams. Angers have managed three victories against Marseille and will want to level the scales on Wednesday.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in May this year and ended in a 3-2 victory for Marseille. Angers gave a good account of themselves on the day but will need to be more robust this week.
