Angers Preview – Can Angers hold their own?
Although Angers make their way into Friday night’s clash with high-flying Lille without a win from 4 matches in Ligue 1, the hosts will still feel they can take something from this encounter despite losing their last two matches on the trot.
Back-to-back draws with Nice and Marseille in 1-1 and 0-0 stalemates have been followed by back-to-back defeats to Reims and Monaco, but results overall on home turf at their Stade Raymond-Kopa haven’t been too bad considering Angers’ position in Ligue 1.
The hosts occupy 13th place on the French top flight ladder but they possess a reasonable looking home record which stands at 6-3-3 17/11, and they’ve lost just 3 of their last 13 matches at home in Ligue 1.
Angers are also unbeaten in the previous 5 meetings at home against Lille, winning 3 and drawing 2.
Lille Preview – Can Lille win three on the trot?
Lille currently occupy 4th place on the Ligue 1 ladder and the visitors have been lifted in recent weeks by back-to-back wins against Strasbourg and Rennes in 2-1 and 1-0 victories respectively, and another three points in Friday night’s clash away at Angers would see Lille draw level on 40 points with 3rd placed Rennes.
However, the majority of Lille’s success so far in the French top flight has been achieved on home turf at their Stade Pierre-Mauroy where they’ve collected 9 of their 11 wins to date so far in this campaign.
This therefore means, however, that Lille have managed just 2 wins on the road all season amidst what is an ordinary looking away record of 2-2-7 8/18 with their nominal success being wins at Lyon and Strasbourg, but 5 defeats out of their last 7 matches on their travels makes the visitors far from guaranteed favourites for this clash.
Indeed, the bigger picture shows that Lille have won just 2 away from home out of their last 15 matches on the road in Ligue 1.
