Lens vs Angers Predictions

Lens can cover a -1 handicap when they host Angers at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Friday. Pierre Sage’s side have won 12 of their last 14 Ligue 1 home games.

They are second in Ligue 1, ten places and 24 points above Angers, with 18 wins from their 26 games this season, while Angers are in 12th place with nine wins.

Lens’ recent form in Ligue 1 has been up and down, with three wins, one draw and two defeats in their last six games. However, they have won their last six clashes with Angers. This is a difficult spell for Angers, with four defeats in their last five league games. They were 1-0 winners over Nantes in their last away game two weeks ago.

Angers have lost four of their last five Ligue 1 matches on the road.

Lens are in red-hot form going forward, having scored in 19 of their last 20 league games. They have averaged two goals a game in their six home matches against bottom-half teams this season, and have scored three goals or more in eight of their 26 Ligue 1 games overall.

A 2-0 home win for Lens looks the best correct-score bet. Twenty of Angers’ 26 league matches this season have finished with under 2.5 goals, and they have lost by a two-goal margin in two of their last three Ligue 1 games.
