Current form
Last season, Angers retained its place in Ligue 1 and, as a result, took a modest 13th place in the standings. At the end of the season, the team slowed down, but completed the task of maintaining its place in the elite. It should be noted that black and white, along with Nantes, became the most ineffective team - 29 goals were scored.
In the off-season, the club changed its head coach, and now Angers is headed by Stephane Gilly, who replaced Alexandre Duge. Under the leadership of the new mentor, the club scored four victories in control matches over Les Herbiers (3:1), Cretey (2:1), Lorient (2:1) and Paris (3:2) with one defeat from Le Mans (2:3).

Current form
In the standings of last season's Ligue 1, Lille took third place and earned a ticket to the main stage of the Champions League. The team might not have qualified for the main European tournament, but Lyon helped, which failed at the end of the season. It should be noted that the Dogs had the third most reliable defense in the championship after PSG and Lens - 37 goals were conceded. And they were only eighth in the offensive line, with 52 goals scored.
In the off-season, the management replaced head coach Bruno Genesio with Italian Davide Ancelotti, and under his leadership the team looked good in friendly matches. As a result, there was only one defeat from the Belgian Union (1:2) and two wins and a draw each. In the last meeting, Lille exchanged goals with English Everton (1:1)

Approximate line–up: Ozers - Santos, Ngoy, Alexandro, Perrault – Mukau, Bentaleb – Mbappe, Haraldsson, Onal – Giroud
Lille has no right to make mistakes in the first round and intends to confirm the status of the favorite of today's meeting. It should be noted that the Dogs have won the last two face-to-face games on the opponent's field and intend to start in League 1 with Victoria today. At the same time, the attacking potential of the team remains one of the strongest in the championship, and performers such as Mathias Fernandez-Pardo and Olivier Giroud are able to decide the outcome of any episode. We believe that these factors will play an important role in the match and Davide Ancelotti's team will be able to take three points. Let's bet on the victory of Lille.
Prediction – Lille wins with a coefficient of 1.73
Betting on the outcome
Angers has gone off the field without scoring in four consecutive home games, and Lille is doing well defensively and had the third most reliable defense last season. The Great Danes are likely to play for the result and spend a lot of time playing defense. We also note that in six face-to-face matches in a row, one team scored against the opponents, and today we do not expect goals from both clubs.
Betting Tip – both will not score with a coefficient of 1.83
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
The guests have no right to make mistakes and today they will play for the result. Considering that the Great Danes are superior in the Angers class, they can take full advantage of this.
