Angers SCO

WLDLDW ⚖

Angers SCO go into this match following a 1-0 Ligue 1 win with the downing of FC Lorient in their most recent outing.

In that game, Angers SCO had 54% possession and 8 shots at goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Angers SCO was Thomas Mangani (68'). On the other side, FC Lorient had 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target.

Angers SCO have had no problems opening up opposition defences of late, scoring 9 goals in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Angers SCO can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same outings. Such a trend won’t necessarily be continued here, of course.

Their previous form shows that Angers SCO:

• remain undefeated by RC Lens when they've played them away from home in the last 4 league matches. A very good run of results for them.
• are unbeaten in their previous 2 away league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 6 league matches.

⚡ Prediction

We think that Angers SCO may find it difficult to put one past this RC Lens outfit who should score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We therefore see a very even contest with a 1-0 winning margin for RC Lens at the end of the 90 minutes.

Should be an interesting one.
