With a top-two spot still up for grabs, Marseille will hope to make the best use of their match against the already-relegated Angers in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The hosts start this round in 3rd spot with a two-point gap to the second-placed Lens, while the visitors are bottom of the standings with 14 points. Marseille lost 2-1 to Lens in a big game last matchday that saw them lose the initiative in the top-two race. Only the top two in Ligue 1 go into the Champions League group stage, third takes you into the qualifying rounds. The loss probably ended their title chances with PSG now eight points ahead of them. Yet, with four games still to play, they would like to get back on track, especially with fourth placed only six points behind. They haven't lost consecutive league games this season since losing three in a row in October, so Marseille will be confident of getting back to winning ways. They are unbeaten in their last four home games, winning the last two. Both teams have scored in each of those last four home league fixtures.

Angers have nothing to gain after already getting relegated from the top-flight. They have lost a whopping 26 games from their 34 league games this season, including nine of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches. They could still recover some pride by winning their remaining four matches and probably moving off the bottom of the table but that's easier written than achieved. Angers have lost their last five away league games in a row. Despite all those defeats, what's common for Angers has been the fact they regularly featured in matches that saw both teams score.
