Lille drew their last game, also a home match. Rennes (placed 3rd) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Lille manager Fonseca lay sleepless for hours after the game against Rennes. The match ended a draw, but Lille hit the posts three times. Midfield player Ounas got a match rating of 8.05 in that game, the max score being 10. Ounas hit the woodwork once, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Olympique Lyonnais.

Angers SCO form and stats

There's been little loot from Angers SCO's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Ligue 1. Angers SCO only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. With the Angers SCO losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Home advantage was not enough for Angers in their previous game as they lost hosting Lens, 1-2. Midfield player Bentaleb was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.13/10. Bentaleb served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Monaco wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Angers SCO played away with similar odds. This revealed 6 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 0 were draws and the home team won as expected 6 times.

Take note that 11 of this club's 13 most recent league matches have ended with at least three goals.

Angers SCO have conceded 15 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Lille wins - draws - Angers SCO wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
