Angers vs Lille prediction for Sunday’s round 38 of the French Ligue 1 clash at Stade Raymond-Kopa in Angers. 12th placed Angers host Ligue 1 leaders Lille in a very important game for the visitors. Read on for our free prediction and betting tips.
Angers to end their season on a high
Angers must feel lucky to be in the 12th position despite their recent terrible form. Les Noirs et Blancs lost five of their last six matches picking up just three points in the process by beating already relegated Dijon. Angers had just one clean sheet and scored in two of their last six matches.
In their last match, coach Stephane Moulin’s team lost to Marseille 3-2. The Black and Whites made a great comeback after going down 2-0 to make it 2-2 but still lost after conceding in the 94th minute. At home, Angers have won just one of their last seven matches keeping a clean sheet in one of those matches.
Lille for the win to clinch the Ligue 1 title
A surprise draw at home for Lille in their last match against St.Etienne made things complicated for the Ligue 1 leaders as they need to win their final game of the season to clinch their fourth Ligue 1 title. Lille had a great season losing just three games all season and have not lost in their last seven matches drawing two of them.
Les Dogues have not lost against any of the top four clubs this season. Moreover, Lille beat PSG and Lyon away in two of their best results in Ligue 1 this campaign. Coach Christoph Galtier must make sure his team will be fully focused not to allow for any surprises to spoil their day. They had just three shots on target in their last match. Galtier’s attack needs to be more effective against Angers if they want to secure the three points.
Key Stats
Angers vs Lille Prediction
This match will decide the Ligue 1 champion of season 2020/21. Lille must take matters into their own hands and win. Coach Galtier’s team definitely deserve to be champions. They have proved throughout the season that they can win tough matches.
Lille had problems against teams that play deep defense and just sit back. Galtier needs to fix this issue by asking his team to be patient and quick while moving the ball around to find a gap through the opponent’s defensive lines.
It is an exciting climax for the Ligue 1 season, to say the least with Lille and PSG with a chance to win the title.
For this game, we predict we will see goals in one end of the field.
