Prediction: 0-1
Marseille
Wednesday’s football game at Stade Raymond-Kopa pits together Angers and Olympique Marseille, the two teams who shared the spoils with Nantes and Reims respectively at the weekend. Les Scoistes aim to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Ligue 1, but they face a difficult task in the clash against the famous French club. The likes of Amadou, Boufal, Ebosse, Fulgini, and Thioub remain in the recovery room, while Alioui has been tested positive for coronavirus.
OM, on the other hand, aim to stay in the title race, and we are positive that they will go for a win against Angers. Since Marseille failed to turn their dominance into goals in the 1-1 draw with Reims, we are tempted to put our money on Andre Villas-Boas’ troops. Amavi and Sanson are the only absentees in the away team ahead of the trip to Angers. Gueye returns from suspension.

Highlighted Player (Romain Thomas):
Romain Thomas is a product of Brest football academy and he made three appearances for the first team during his spell at Stade Francis-Le Bie. Thomas spent the 2008/2009 season on loan at Pacy Vallee-d’Eure and in 2010 he moved to lower-league side USJA Carquefou.
After spending three seasons at the club the 193-cm-tall defender, who is very good in the air, moved to Angers. Romain Thomas quickly established himself as a first team regular at the club and you should know that he made 36 appearances for the Ligue 1 side in the 2016/2017 season.
Despite playing as a defender, the French footballer often finds the net and he scored his first goal for Angers on September 27, 2013 in a 1-1 draw with Tours. The centre-back, whose preferred foot is right, was born in Landerneau, France on June 12, 1988. Romain Thomas’ contract with les Scoistes expires on June 30, 2019.
Highlighted Team (Marseille):
Olympique de Marseille are considered one of the best French football clubs. Les Olympiens won their ninth Ligue 1 title in 2010, but winning of the 1992/1993 Champions League trophy is seen as the club’s biggest success. Marseille defeated Italian giants Milan in the title game, with Basile Boli scoring the winner (1-0) in the Olympiastadion showdown.
It has to be noted, though, that the Stade Velodrome outfit were banned from defending the title in the 1993/1994 season after being involved in a match-fixing scandal. To make things even worse for the fans, the club suffered enforced relegation to the Ligue 2. Olympique de Marseille participated in the Europa League final on two occasions (1998/1999, 2003/2004), but they were beaten by Parma and Valencia respectively in the title games. OM’s home ground Stade Velodrome was opened on June 13, 1997 and the capacity of the stadium is 67.394.
The likes of Franck Ribery, Didier Deschamps, Didier Drogba, Laurent Blanc, Fabien Barthez, Samir Nasri, Fabrizio Ravanelli and Djibril Cisse all played for Marseille in the past.
