ℹ️ Team News: Angers SCO

In all likelihood, Les Scoïstes will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, utilising Yahia Fofana, Carlens Arcus, Cedric Hountondji, Jordan Lefort, Florent Hanin, Jean Aholou, Joseph Romeric Lopy, Jim Allevinah, Himad Abdelli, Farid El Melali and Lois Diony.

ℹ️ Team News: RC Lens

Out of a mainly healthy group, there’s only a single fitness problem for the RC Lens manager Will Still to be concerned with. Neil El Aynaoui (Knee injury) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that Les Artésiens will likely elect for a 3-4-1-2 lineup, choosing Brice Samba, Jonathan Gradit, Malang Sarr, Facundo Medina, P. Frankowski, Deiver Machado, Nampalys Mendy, Adrien Thomasson, David Costa, Florian Sotoca and Wesley Said.

🧠 Prediction

We envisage that Angers SCO will manage to put one past this RC Lens side, although one goal is unlikely to prevent defeat.

We’ve gone for both teams to score in a 1-2 win for RC Lens at the end of the match. Let’s just see how this one goes.
