Angers vs Lille Prediction & Tips
In France, with four matchdays to go before the end of the season, the fight for European places promises to be extremely tight. Lille are in fourth place, which gives them the right to fight for a place in the Champions League through the qualifying round. The gap to second-placed Marseille is only two points. Interestingly, Lille is also separated by only two points from seventh-placed Strasbourg.
The standings are characterised by an exceptional density: six teams are within just a few points of each other. Next matchday, Lille have a key clash at home to Marseille, and the ‘dogues’ simply must go into that game without a loss. The next game at Angers is a must-win barrier where it is important to get the maximum.
However, Angers are also fighting for their place in the sun. The team is dangerously close to the relegation zone: only three points separate them from 16th-placed Guingamp. Any failure could be a step towards relegation, so the hosts’ motivation will be extreme.
