Lille vs Angers Predictions & Tips

The reigning champions Lille bounced back from a four-game winless run with a 2-1 victory in Sevilla in midweek and they will be out to end a run of three matches without a victory in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Jocelyn Gourvennec’s side find themselves in 12th place with just 15 points from a possible 36 but their home record is steady.

Lille have won three of their last four league matches when hosting and are unbeaten in six games in all competitions at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Angers showing signs of slowing down

After winning three of their first four league games to start the season Angers have picked up just seven points from a possible 24. The visitors have won just one of their last eight matches and failed to win any of their last five games on the road. In fact, Angers are winless in nine of their last 10 away fixtures in Ligue 1 (D5, L4).

Gerald Baticle’s men have drawn four of their last matches on their travels with both teams scoring in all five of those games.

Goals at both ends likely

With clean sheets at a premium for both teams, goals here are likely. Lille have kept just one clean sheet in the league this term while Angers have managed just one shut-out in their last eight matches.

Both teams have scored in seven of those eight games but Les Scoistes have shipped exactly two goals in each of their last four matches suggesting they are vulnerable at the back.

That’s why we are tipping a 2-1 win for Lille in what should be a lively encounter.
