Latest Angers vs Lille football prediction

After finishing runners-up in Ligue 2 in 2023-24 and securing direct promotion to the top flight of French football, Angers are now desperate to avoid immediate relegation, with the prospect of an anxious end to the season awaiting the hosts on Sunday afternoon.

Le SCO have lost six of their last seven Ligue 1 games, including last weekend's defeat when goals from Pablo Rosario and Ali Abdi before and after half-time gave Champions League-bound Nice all three points at the Allianz Riviera.

Having picked up just three points from their last seven games, Angers are currently 15th in Ligue 1, just three points above the relegation zone of Le Havre and Saint-Etienne as they prepare to host Lille this weekend.

Le SCO's home form has not been particularly impressive either, winning just one of their last six games at the Stade Raymond Kopa in Ligue 1. However, their most recent home win came on 13 April, when a brilliant Esteban Lepaul brace saw them beat Montpellier HSC.

Having only been playing in the French third tier for Epinal less than 18 months ago, Esteban Lepaul, 25, has made a meteoric rise to the top of French football, currently leading Angers' scoring charts with seven goals in 24 Ligue 1 appearances this season.

After qualifying for the Champions League last season thanks to a fourth-place finish in Ligue 1, Lille are aiming to go one further by securing a direct group stage spot in Europe's premier competition in 2025-26.

Lille's top-three hopes have been boosted by back-to-back Ligue 1 wins - something they haven't done since February - as they beat Toulouse and Auxerre before the trip to the Stade Raymond Kopa.

Unsurprisingly, Canadian sensation Jonathan David continued to make his mark in the victory at the Allianz Riviera, with two goals and an assist for Thomas Meunier in a 3-1 win over Christophe Pelissier's side.

Having won three of their last four league games, Bruno Genesio's side are now closing in on the Champions League places, just one point behind Monaco in third and two behind Marseille in second, with four games remaining before the end of the season.

Although not too excellent when playing away from home with only 20 points after 15 away matches this season, Lille still has a solid defense to rely on, having only conceded 16 goals away from home - a record only bettered by Will Still's Lens (15 goals).
