On Sunday, January 01, 2023, the 2022-23 Ligue 1 round 17 match between Angers SCO and the FC Lorient will be played at the Raymond-Kopa which will be broadcast live streaming. A golden opportunity for Lorient to push into the top five if they can anticipate Angers’ struggle to get out of the relegation area.
Eight consecutive defeats have been recorded by Angers in the domestic league competition since the beginning of October 2022. Even after the World Cup break, Angers has not been able to recover and must acknowledge the superiority of Ajaccio, a club who are both struggling to return to competing in Ligue 1 next season.
This bad record has made Abdel Bouhazama’s side sink deeper into the bottom of the standings, by collecting only eight points in 16 matches, three points behind Strasbourg which is right above it.
The hope of adding points in the 17th round of Ligue 1 is likely earlier this year, at home to Lorient. Even though they are quite far apart in the standings, The Black and Whites have a good record by bagging five wins in nine opportunities against Lorient in Ligue 1, drawing three times and only losing one time.
The problem is, the absence of two players from Morocco – Sofiane Boufal and Azz-Eddine Ounahi who have not returned after Qatar 2022 will make it difficult for Bouhazama’s task of putting together a strong defense. Meanwhile, this season Lorient appeared tough in 15 away matches with only one defeat, four wins and the rest ended in draws.
Regis Le Bris’ men are also unbeaten in the last five away games – three wins and two draws. However, Les Merlus failed to style at their own base in the inaugural match after the international break due to a 2-0 loss to Montpellier.
Failure to add points has kept Lorient in seventh place in the standings, only two points behind AS Monaco, which is in fifth place. That is, the opportunity to break through the top five is wide open if you are able to win in the match at Raymond Kopa Stadium tonight.
So, who do you think will win? Angers or Lorient? Don’t miss watching this match which will kick-off starting at 14:00 local time. The following is related information about the Angers vs. Lorient match:
