Angers vs Lorient Prediction :
Although Lorient has struggled to match their bright start in recent weeks, they have arguably been the highlight of the Ligue 1 campaign thus far. By the by, they stay in the chase after European capability, and an outing to the storm cellar side offers them an opportunity to get back to winning ways.
Angers, on the other hand, have been awful all season, and even a new manager couldn’t stop them from falling to their eighth consecutive defeat. There is a possibility that the two teams will play another low-scoring game in the event that Lorient wins.
Prediction: Angers 0-1 Lorient
