Lille - Angers SCO predictions

Lille should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Sunday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.30.

Considering what they’re up against, Angers SCO can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 11.00 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The 2:0 defeat Lille recorded in the previous round was quite unexpected and does not show their current form in a positive light. Nice, the hosts in that bout, convincingly dominated the entire game.

Angers SCO are coming on the back of a 2:2 draw in their latest away game at Olympique Marseille. Considering how one-sided the match-up seemed going in, they can be reasonably happy with such an outcome. They ended the first half ahead too, which is something of an achievement in its own right.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Angers SCO are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

The form we saw from Angers SCO over the past 11 matches can’t be good for their supporters’ confidence. They’re just 3 points above the relegation zone and are heading into this game as clear underdogs. On the bright side, we’re only at round 11 of the competition.

The home team has a long and clear history of dominance over Angers SCO. In the previous season, they secured several decisive victories, so it makes sense that the bookmakers labelled them as clear favourites.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Sunday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
