H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Angers Team Overview
⚫ Angers spent a significant amount of time in the relegation zone and were considered strong candidates for dropping out of the top division. However, Alexandre Dujeux gradually brought his team together, organizing the lines so effectively that the "black and whites" started scoring more and conceding less. As a result, they have climbed to 11th place in the standings and are now eyeing a spot in European competitions.
⚪ In their last two fixtures, Angers secured victories against Auxerre (2-0) and Toulouse (1-0). Notably, their defense stood out, not conceding a single goal in these challenging encounters. Against the "violets" away from home, Angers played defensively, maintaining 46% possession and managing just two shots on target, yet it was enough to secure a crucial victory!

Currently, the "Red and Yellows" sit in 3rd place on the league table, trailing the leader by just two points. The main strength of Lens' current squad lies in their solid defense-having conceded only 11 goals. They share this top defensive record with PSG.
