Lens vs Angers Prediction

🔊 Does Angers have a chance to extend their crazy winning streak? In the 19th round of Ligue 1, the "black and whites" face a very tough away game, with Lens being the clear favorites on their home turf. Although the "blood and gold" are not in their best form, the visitors have a decent chance to create a miracle and secure their sixth consecutive win. Our editorial team shared their expectations and all possible scenarios in this prediction.

📊 H2H

In head-to-head encounters, Lens strongly dominates, having secured five wins in the last ten games. Angers managed to beat the "blood and gold" only once during this period. However, both teams often manage to score, exchanging goals in five of the last seven encounters. Therefore, we advise betting on Both Teams to Score: Yes.

🔴 Lens

Lens has started to drop points too frequently, leading to a decline in their position on the league table. Over the last four rounds, this club has managed to collect only four points, which does not allow the "blood and gold" to be in the European competition zone. Seventh place in the standings is unlikely to be satisfactory for them, especially since there are no complaints about their defense. However, their attack needs improvement, as Lens players have scored only 22 goals in 18 rounds.

There is some logic to this, as squad problems have exclusively affected the team's attacking line. Forwards Labo-Lascari and Satriano are currently in the "blood and gold" infirmary.

⚫ Angers

Angers continues to rage, with the modest team already recording five consecutive wins. They have managed to improve discipline, which is paying off. Over the last three rounds of Ligue 1, the "black and whites" have added nine points to their tally and have moved out of the underdog status. They now have 22 points from 18 matches, which can be considered quite an impressive achievement.

Angers does not have many injured players, but there are losses in almost every line. Defender Shabanovic and midfielders Aholou and Sheriff are listed in the club's infirmary.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

Lens matches are rarely high-scoring, with a total of 40 goals scored in 18 Ligue 1 games involving them. Not many goals are scored by Angers either, with less than three goals recorded in five of the last seven French championship games. Only one of these games saw more than three goals. Therefore, we suggest considering a bet on Total Goals Under 3.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Lens has almost double the advantage in terms of earned corners compared to conceded ones (5.2 to 2.8). Angers' figures are negative, with the "black and whites" rarely winning by corner count. So our editorial team suggests betting on Lens to Win Corners with a Handicap (-1.5).

📝 Match Prediction

Angers knows how to seriously gear up for away games; even in tough times, the "black and whites" put up a fight on foreign grounds and clung to points. In 11 away matches this season, they have suffered only three defeats. Lens, who has been performing poorly in recent matches, will find it very difficult to confirm their favorite status. We believe that this encounter could end in a 1:1 draw.

And even if Lens manages to overcome the rampant Angers, it's unlikely that the hosts' victory will be large. Bookmakers significantly underestimate the "dark horse," which has gained very good momentum. Therefore, we recommend betting on Angers to Win with a Handicap (+1.5).
