Angers SCO

LLLLWL

Angers SCO will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-1 Ligue 1 defeat in their last game at the hands of Nice.

In that match, Angers SCO had 47% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Angers SCO was Yassin Belkhdim (52'). Nice got 22 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. Pablo Rosario (36') and Ali Abdi (47') scored for Nice.

A common trait of more recent Angers SCO games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

From their previous sextet of clashes before this one, in 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a loser. In any event, we’ll just have to find out if such a trend will continue on in this game or not.

📰 Team News: Angers SCO

Haris Belkebla (Foot injury), Cédric Hountondji (Achilles tendon contusion), Pierrick Capelle (Dead leg), Bamba Dieng (Adductor pain), Sidiki Chérif (Dead leg) and Emmanuel Biumla (Hamstring injury) will not be able to play for Angers SCO gaffer Alexandre Dujeux.

We are thinking that Les Scoïstes will possibly employ a 5-3-2 formation for this game with Yahia Fofana, Abdoulaye Bamba, Jordan Lefort, Florent Hanin, Lilian Rao-Lisoa, Jacques Ekomie, Yassin Belkhdim, Zinedine Ould Khaled, Himad Abdelli, Farid El Melali and Esteban Lepaul.

ℹ️ Team News: Lille

Lille boss Bruno Génésio has a number of players out of action. Samuel Umtiti (Calf injury), Edon Zhegrova (Adductor pain) and Tiago Santos (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

There’s a good chance that LOSC seem likely to make use of a 4-4-2 formation, starting Lucas Chevalier, Thomas Meunier, Bafode Diakite, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Ismaily, H. Arnar Haraldsson, Benjamin Andre, Andre Gomes, M. Fernandez-Pardo, Jonathan David and Chuba Akpom.

✨ Prediction

Angers SCO would be disappointed if they were not to breach the defence of this Lille outfit, although one goal possibly won’t quite be enough to avoid a loss.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a 1-2 victory for Lille at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
