Angers vs Lille prediction, preview, team news and more | Ligue 1 2020-21


Lille are back in action in Ligue 1 with the most important fixture in their recent history as they take on Angers at the Stade Jean-Bouin on Sunday. Lille can clinch the Ligue 1 title with a victory in this game and will be desperate for the three points this weekend.

Angers are in 12th place in the Ligue 1 standings at the moment and have been fairly inconsistent this season. The home side eased past Dijon by a 3-0 margin last week and will have to strive for a similar result in this fixture.

Lille, on the other hand, have been exceptional this season and are currently at the top of the league table. Les Dogues were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Saint-Etienne in their previous game and cannot afford to drop points in this match.


Angers vs Lille Head-to-Head

Angers have a surprisingly good record against Lille and have won six games out of a total of 13 matches played between the two sides. Lille have managed four victories against Lille and will need to step up in this match.

The previous meeting between the two French sides took place in January earlier this year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Angers. Lille were well below their best on the day and cannot afford another debacle this weekend.
