Lorient vs Angers predictions for this Ligue 1 battle on Sunday at Stade du Moustoir. Lorient, in a dangerous zone, hosts Angers, who are in a quiet position and have nothing at stake. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Lorient
Lorient are currently in seventeenth position, four points above the relegation places, and a win in this game would mean they would escape the relegation places.
Despite being in the bottom half of the table, Lorient is a very strong team at home. In 17 home matches they have won eight, drawn two and lost seven.
Lorient’s problem is that defensively they are very weak, they are, along with Nimes, the team that has conceded the most goals.
Angers
After avoiding relegation for another season in Ligue 1, Angers is practically waiting for the end of the season, which is why they are on a losing streak.
In 17 away matches, Angers have six wins, five draws and six defeats. So it is a team that does not have a bad away record, but not a very good one either.

Lorient vs Angers Predictions
We think that Lorient, as they are in danger of relegation, will be going all out for the win, as they have been on a good run of points in the last few games, and they will host an Angers team that is on a losing streak and with little at stake.
We think that the match could have many scoring chances, not because of the merit of the attackers of each team but rather because of the lack of merit of the defenders, as two rather weak defenses are facing each other.
