Angers vs Lorient Prediction

Angers Form

In their last three matches, Angers lost 1-2 against Lens, 1-0 against Lille and 1-0 against AC Ajaccio. Angers claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Ligue 1, which also saw them drawing zero and losing five matches, in which they scored eight and conceded 15 goals.

The most optimistic experts had them down for a place in the bottom half of the table, but in could turn out even worse, as Angers are struggling with dismal form.

Lorient Form

Lorient only managed to gain a single point in their past three games, which kicked off with a 1-2 defeat against PSG. A 1-1 draw with Strasbourg followed, before Montpellier ran out 0-2 winners. Lorient managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Ligue 1 away matches, in which they scored 11 while also conceding ten times. They also experienced two draws and one defeat.

Few would have predicted Lorient to perform as well as they done silencing talk of relegation with nice performances.

Both Angers and visitors Lorient seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.
