Angers SCO form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Angers SCO have managed 6 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 12 games.

The Angers SCO fans got no joy from their last match, a Ligue 1 game also here at Stade Raymond-Kopa: A 1-4 defeat against Reims (placed 7th). Preceding that match was the home Coupe de France game against Rennes that was lost 4-5.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Angers SCO have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won two Drawn three Lost seven.

Angers SCO are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games. From these home matches, Angers SCO have conceded only 11 goals.

Reims form and stats

The visitors are W5-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1.

Reims play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-1 victory visiting Angers SCO (placed 10th). A 0-1 loss hosting Metz before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Reims playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three Reims wins, five draws and one defeat.

Reims have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. Reims are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 11 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
