Angers is welcoming Lille OSC to Stade Raymond Kopa in round 38 in the French Ligue 1.
Angers has won only 1 of their last 7 games while losing the other 6, but the good news for them is they have secured their Ligue 1 spot for next season. Angers is now in 12th place with 44 points, only 39 scored goals, and 56 conceded goals. In their last game against Marseille on the road, Angers has had 47% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 88% of the correct passes. After losing 2-0 in the 48th minute, Angers has scored2 goals, and they had a point in their pocket in the 85th minute. Unfortunately for Angers, they have conceded a penalty kick in the 95th minute, and they ended up losing this match 3-2. Bahoken and Fulgini are the leading goalscorers for Angers with 6 goals each. The injury list is long for Angers, and some of their best players will miss this game, while Coulibaly is suspended because of the red card. Overall, a season Angers can be satisfied with because they simply don’t have the quality for anything more.
Lille is at the top of the table in France, and they are undefeated in their last 7 games. Lille has also had a chance to secure the title last weekend with a win, but they just couldn’t score a goal against Saint-Etienne. Lille was the better team in that match with 59% of ball possession, 3 shots on goal, 3 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 84% of the correct passes. Lille has created some good chances in this match, but they simply lacked the focus to finish them, and this game has ended in a 0-0 draw. Lille still has 1 point advantage over PSG in the standings, but they need a win here to win the title because nothing less will be enough unless PSG losses their game. Lille has been solid in the attacking end this season with 62 scored goals, and Yilmaz is their leading goalscorer with 15 goals. David has added 12 goals. Bamba has 8 assists for Lille. There are no injuries in Lille, but Fonte is suspended because of the yellow cards. This has been the dream season for Lille, but this is the time to step up one last time this season and leave the great PSG without the league title. Lille is the best defensive team in the league, but they will be without their best defender in this match, however, Angers is not that good of a team, and I hope Lille is going to win the title. It will be well-deserved.
The trends are on Angers’ side in this matchup, but Lille has lost only 1 game on the road so far this season, and they are a much, much better team here. I’m going to take Lille on the road to get a win and to win the title.
