Stade Raymond Kopa - Angers
Marseille have at least 13 wins after 21 matches in a Ligue 1 season (13 in 2024-25) for the fifth time in the 21st century, after 2012-13 (13), 2014-15 (14), 2017-18 (13) and 2022-23 (14). OM have scored their 44th and 45th goals this season in L1, their highest tally after 21 matches since 1971-72 (also 45).
Marseille have recorded their ninth away win in Ligue 1 in 2024-25 (L2), three times more than in the whole of last season (3). It's also two more than any other L1 team this season.
After winning their first three Ligue 1 games in 2025, Angers have not won any of their last three in the top-flight (D1 L2), their longest streak since the first eight games this season (D4 L4).
Angers have won on only one occasion, in December 2020 (2-1), in their last 16 Ligue 1 home games against Marseille (D8 L7). This match will be the 50th between the two clubs in the top-flight.
Marseille have failed to score only once in their last 16 away matches against promoted teams in Ligue 1, doing so at Ajaccio in June 2023 (0-1).
Angers and Marseille are two of five teams who have recorded 10 points in 2025 (W3 D1 L1 each), the joint most heading into MD21 (Paris SG, Nice and Strasbourg also on 10).
Marseille have scored 43 goals after 20 Ligue 1 games in 2024-25, their highest total at this stage since 1971-72 (44).
Angers – on a run of two victories and one draw at Raymond-Kopa – could go unbeaten in four consecutive home games in Ligue 1 for the first time since May to September 2019 (6).
