Angers vs Lille Prediction: Lille will keep marching

Round 30 features Angers and Lille going head-to-head in the Stade Raymond Kopa Stadium. Angers have been on a disastrous run since January and they are lying at the bottom of the table. From all indications, Angers are getting relegated in a few weeks and there is no hope for the Angers side. Lille are in 5th spot and they are 5 points away from champions league qualification. Their run is not excellent, but they have not lost in their last 5 matches.

Angers are the worst team by a mile this season and their fate seems sealed to end getting relegated at the end of the season. Angers have not recorded a win in their last 11 matches in all competitions. In their last 5 matches they recorded 1 draw and 4 losses. Their last match was against Nice and they played a 1-1 draw. Both goals came in the first half and the goal scorers were Ibahima Niane (Angers) and Terme Moffi (Nice). Angers managed to have more shots on target (6), despite having the fewer percentage of possession (37%) and they also had 5 corner kicks.

Angers are in 20th place on the table, with 11 points from 29 matches. They have 2 wins, 5 draws and 22 losses, with a goal ratio of 22:64.

Team Streak:- no wins(11), without clean sheet (8), first to concede (6/6), first half loser (5/6), less than 4.5 cards (4/5), less than 10.5 corners (5/7).

Lille are clear favourites coming into this clash as they are not only better on form than the opposition, but also better in general. Lille are on a 2 match win streak and in their last 5 matches, they recorded 3 wins and 2 draws. Their last match ended in a 3-1 win against Lorient at home. Remy Cabella opened the scoring in the 13th minute and in the second half. Ibrahima Kone levelled for the visitors. But Lille restored their lead in the 89th minute through Edon Zhegrova (89th minute) and he doubled his tally in the 91st minute to ensure Lille cruise to a 3-1 victory. Lille showed their dominance throughout the game, by taking over 60% possession, 7 shots on target and 5 corner kicks.

Lille are currently in 5th spot, with 52 points from 29 matches. They recorded 15 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, with a goal ratio of 54:37.

Team Streaks:- no losses (5), both teams scoring (5/6), more than 4.5 cards (5/6).

Angers and Lille have played 15 matches against each other. Angers have 6 wins, while Lille have 5 wins and 4 matches ended in a draw. 

• Lille have no losses in the last 4 meetings.
• Angers are without a clean sheet in the last 8 meetings.
• Both teams scored in 4/5 meetings.
• Lille opened scoring in 6/8 meetings.
• Lille won the first half in 6/8 meetings.

• Angers (5-3-2): Paul Bernardoni, Farid El Melali, Yan Valery, Cedric Houtondiji, Foauzi Ghoulam, Justin Noel Kalumba, Pierrick capelle, Batista Mendy, Nabi Bentaleb, Himad Abdelli, Ibrahima Niane.
• Lille (4-2-3-1): Lucas Chevalier, Timothy Weah, Jose Fonte, Alexsandro Ribeiro, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Benjamin Andre, Angel Gomes, Adam Ounas, Remy Cabella, Jonathan Bamba, Jonathan David.

Angers have no fight in them anymore as the hopes of survival look over for some time now. But they are the sort of side that can try to frustrate any team as they are set up to play defensively. They have not been excellent defensively too, but they can stop the Lille team from scoring at will. So, expect Lille to win by a very narrow margin against Angers.
