After five rounds in Ligue 1, Angers remain without a win and they have only managed to win two points so far, which puts them in the last place in the standings. Based on this start, it's clear that Angers will be one of the teams fighting to avoid relegation this season, especially since their schedule so far wasn't too difficult.
When it comes to teams news, Justin-Noel Kalumba and Joseph Lopy will be out with injuries for a while.

Player to watch: Keito Nakamura
The 24-year-old Japanese forward already notched a couple of goals in Ligue 1 this season and if Reims are going to do well against Angers, they'll need help from Nakamura.
