Match Preview
Les Scoïstes desperately need a win after swallowing 16 matches without a win in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Les Gones had to come back from a 2-1 defeat at Auxerre in their last game which ended their record of four games without defeat.
Even though Lyon lead the head-to-head record, Angers will not give up easily. Laurent Blanc’s troops must be vigilant because Les Scoïstes has prepared several new strategies to win this game. Previously, Lyon was able to win with a score of 5-0 in the last meeting at the Stade de Gerland last September.
In terms of statistics, Lyon can be happy because they have a reliable player like Alexandre Lacazette, who has scored 14 goals this season, including the opening four goals in the match. However, Angers also have three players who can bring their team to score goals, namely Nabil Bentaleb, Amine Salama and Adrien Hunou, who all scored three goals this season.
The thing that is quite crucial from the two teams is that they are both experiencing problems at home to their opponents this season. Angers have only been able to win one win and two draws from 12 matches at their home ground. Meanwhile, Lyon was only able to win four of 12 away games. They will try to improve this record in the match later.
It is clear that both teams will try to end their bad trend and win three important points in this weekend’s game.
Moreover, Angers currently occupies the bottom key position in the Ligue 1 standings with 10 points.

Team News
Trying to get out of the relegation zone, but Angers is currently facing a difficult situation with five players out due to injury. They are Lois Diony, Ferid El Melali, Yahia Fofan, Ali Kalla, and Ulrick Eneme-Ella.
The players will potentially not be involved when Angers takes on Lyon later. This could be a major setback for Angers, who are already struggling to maintain consistent form in Ligue 1.
While Lyon has Alexandre Lacazette. The former Arsenal player has performed brilliantly this season by bagging 18 goals and five assists in all competitions. Lacazette missed Lyon’s loss to Auxerre in their last game with a thigh problem, but there is hope that he will be fit enough to feature at Stade Raymond Kopa.
However, Lyon must remain vigilant because several players have been injured. They are the outgoing midfield duo of Corentin Tolisso and Houssem Aouar. Teenage defender Malo Gusto is also out with a groin problem.
Angers itself is not without star players. Former Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United midfielder Nabil Bentaleb has been instrumental in leading the team and could be key to unlocking Lyon’s defence. The SCO team captain who has scored three goals will look to increase his tally of goals and three assists in front of the home crowd.
