Lille vs Angers prediction: Mastiffs to hand Scoistes first loss in four games
Key stats
- Lille have alternated between wins and losses in their last four competitive games.
- Les Dogues have led at half-time in just three of their ten Ligue 1 games this season.
- Angers are the only team yet to concede after the 75th minute in Ligue 1 this term.
- Les Scoistes have scored five goals in their last three league fixtures.
Correct score prediction: Lille 2-1 Angers
Lille’s spasmodic start to the new campaign continues, as they fell to a 2-0 defeat to Nice last matchday, days after winning 6-1 against Metz. Nevertheless, Bruno Genesio’s Mastiffs remain unbeaten in three of their last four Ligue 1 outings.
Angers, meanwhile, are on a three-match undefeated streak themselves, including a heart-stopping 2-2 draw with Marseille last matchday thanks Ousmane Camara’s 96th minute strike. However, Alexander Dujeux’s men are one of the four teams yet to win away from home this season.
Given Lille’s attacking threat and Angers’ poor away form, the hosts are strongly fancied to claim all three points on home turf.

Lille preview: Back to winning ways?
Genesio is still without the services of Ethan Mbappe and Ousmane Toure, while Alexsandro and Berze Ozer are sidelined as well.
Predicted lineup: Bodart (GK), Meunier, Perraud, Mandi, Ngoy, Andre, Bouaddi, Correia, Haraldsson, Pardo & Igamane
Last five matches:
- Nice 2-0 Lille (Ligue 1)
- Lille 6-1 Metz (Ligue 1)
- Lille 3-4 PAOK (UEFA Europa League)
- Nantes 0-2 Lille (Ligue 1)
- Lille 1-1 PSG (Ligue 1)
Angers preview: First away win of the season?
Other than Jim Allevinah, Dujeux arrives in Lille with a fully fit squad. However, Peter Prosper, Louis Mouton and Emmanuel Biumla are doubtful with fitness issues and could miss out on the clash.
Predicted lineup: Koffi (GK), Arcus, Camara, Lefort, Ekomie, Belkhdim, Belkelba, Abdelli, Rao-Lisoa, Mouton & Cherif
Last five matches:
- Marseille 2-2 Angers (Ligue 1)
- Angers 2-0 Lorient (Ligue 1)
- Angers 1-1 Monaco (Ligue 1)
- Strasbourg 5-0 Angers (Ligue 1)
- Angers 0-2 Brest (Ligue 1)
Player to watch: Herve Koffi
If Lille are to overcome Angers, they will have to get past shot-stopper Koffi, who has been instrumental in the club’s recent success. He has blocked 11 of 14 shots faced against Monaco, Lorient, and Marseille combined – making his presence vital between the posts for the visitors. However, he has just two clean sheets this season, including Angers’ recent 2-0 win over Lorient.
