Lille vs Angers Predictions

• Lille are unbeaten in their nine home matches this season (W6, D3).
• Les Dogues have conceded in two of their last three starts at Stade Pierre Mauroy and in four of their last six league games overall.
• The visitors have scored in all but one of their eight games on the road this season.

Angers Can Run Title Challengers Close

Lille can maintain their unbeaten home record when they entertain Angers on Wednesday evening, though it won’t be a walk in the park for Les Dogues with the visitors unbeaten in their last five away trips (W3, D2).

We’re in the midst of one of the most open title races in France for years and Lille are right in the thick of things after losing just one of their first 17 league fixtures (W10, D6). Les Dogues boast an identical record to leaders Lyon and only trail Les Gones on goal difference going into this week’s crucial round of fixtures.

Lille are solid odds-on shots to make it five wins in six when they take on Angers and Christophe Galtier’s men are difficult to oppose. They have won six and drawn three of their nine outings at Stade Pierre Mauroy, with those three draws coming against the other sides who currently make up the top four.

We fancy the hosts to get the job done, although Angers should pose a real threat based on their recent form on the road. Aside from collecting 11 points from their last five away trips, the visitors have netted in all but one of their eight away games and it’s worth backing Stephan Moulin’s men to get on the scoresheet here.

A Lille win and both teams to score rates the best wager at the prices and with a close contest anticipated, we’re also going for a 2-1 correct score.
