Angers take on Lille at the Stade Raymond Kopa in a Ligue 1 match this Sunday.
Angers are currently in 11th, while Lille are up in 5th, five points ahead of their opponents this weekend.
Thanks for the submission!
So can Lille keep up the pace and continue to push for a potential Champions League spot, or will Angers pick up a valuable home win?
Angers vs Lille Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Lille have won their last three matches against Angers, and have only lost once at the Stade Raymond Kopa since 2018.
- Angers fell to defeat at the hands of Lorient last weekend, ending a two-match winning streak that saw them defeat Metz and Toulouse. However, the fact that both of those wins came by a single goal means that Angers have only scored two in their last four games.
- Despite Lille’s high league position, they actually haven’t been on the best form in recent weeks. In fact, their only win in their last ten matches came in the Europa League against Freiburg. They fell to defeat in that competition on Thursday against Crvena Zvedza, and have not won in Ligue 1 since December 14th.
- More worrying for Lille should be the fact that their goals have all but dried up, despite them scoring 35 thus far. Since scoring four in December to beat Auxerre, they have only managed two in their last six league games.
- Given the lack of goals between these sides in recent weeks, it shouldn’t be a surprise that historically, games between them have been low-scoring. In fact, none of their last six meetings have produced more than two goals.
Angers vs Lille Prediction
Given Lille’s miserable run of form, this match could be a difficult one to predict, even if they are the superior side on paper.
One thing is likely for certain and that is a lack of goals, as neither team has been high-scoring in recent weeks and historically, this match has not produced many.
Overall, then, given Angers have the home advantage – and have won their last two at the Stade Raymond Kopa – it’s hard to pick a winner here. The prediction is a draw.
Prediction: Angers 1-1 Lille
