Angers vs Lille Preview and Team News

Angers Team News

There will be huge pressure on the hosts this weekend, as Angers sit just three points clear of the relegation places after losing four of their last five matches in Ligue 1. Their home record would be a concern, as they have suffered defeats in 60% of their matches at Stade Raymond Kopa.

Scoring goals has been an issue for the home side throughout the season, as they have averaged just 1.07 goals per 90 at home from an xG of 1.22. Defensively, there will also be questions to answer after conceding an average of two goals per game from an XGA of 1.85.

Adrien Hunou will be fit enough to return to action on Sunday. Meanwhile, Haris Belkebia, Pierrick Capelle, and Emmanuel Biumia are also back in training. Cedric Houtondji remains out due to injury.

Angers predicted lineup vs Lille

Angers predicted lineup vs Lille (5-3-2): Fofana; Raolisoa, Bamba, Lefort, Hanin, Ekomie; Khaled, Abdelli, Belkhdim; Lepaul, Melali. 

Lille Team News

Lille continue to have their sights set on a Champions League finish this season. The French club sit fourth in the standings after winning back-to-back matches, and a third straight victory could see them move up to as high as second in the standings on Sunday.

Lille have been in strong attacking form throughout the season, scoring an average of 1.57 goals per 90 from an xG of 1.55. They have also been impressive defensively after conceding 1.07 goals per game from an xGA of 1.22. It could be worth noting that Lille have kept clean sheets in 40% of their matches on the road in 2024-25. 

Tiago Santos remains out for the season due to a serious knee injury. Samuel Umtiti and Edon Zhegrova are also unlikely to return in time to feature on Sunday.

Angers vs Lille Prediction 

• Pick: Lille to win
• Odds: 1.59 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Angers 0-2 Lille

It appears challenging to overlook the opportunities for the visitors on Sunday. Lille have won six of their last ten matches against Angers in Ligue 1, and they have also won back-to-back matches. 

The visitors have also lost just 33% of their matches on the road this season, and have kept clean sheets in 40% of their fixtures away from home. Angers have struggled at both ends of the field, and that is reflected by their recent form, which has seen them lose four of their last five.

Angers vs Lille Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 9.5 Corners
• Odds: 1.56 (22Bet)

A low-scoring affair in terms of corners looks like a solid prediction on Sunday. 

Only St. Etienne have averaged fewer corners per game in Ligue 1 than Angers this season, while Lille only average 4.73 corners per 90. The visitors have had under 9.5 corners in 60% of their matches, while that benchmark has been a winning selection in 70% of Angers fixtures.

Alternatively, both teams not to score could be an interesting angle, given that Lille have kept clean sheets in 40% of their away matches. Meanwhile, Angers have failed to score in 40% of their home fixtures.
