Lille vs Angers prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-01 16:15.
[p]Angers will face top-half opposition for the fourth time in five games when they travel to take on a Lille side aiming to return to Ligue 1’s top six.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Lille have begun to falter in recent weeks, with a 2-0 defeat at Nice on Wednesday their second in three matches across all competitions (W1). Bruno Génésio’s men therefore sit on the periphery of the European places in Ligue 1 in what’s becoming a tightly-congested race for the top six, with improvements particularly needed at home if the Mastiffs are to bridge that gap. Lille have won just one of their last four matches there in any competition (D1, L2), and now stand to lose back-to-back matches at Stade Pierre-Mauroy for the first time since February.[/p]
[p]Angers begin this round a point clear of the relegation zone after an encouraging three-match unbeaten run (W1, D2), which most recently saw them take the lead and eventually score a 96th-minute equaliser to snatch a 2-2 draw against title-chasing Marseille. Alexandre Dujeux’s men have made an identical start to this stage last season, with the same outcome of avoiding relegation likely to be satisfactory. Their position could become even more comfortable if they can pick up a first away league win this season (D2, L3), but with Angers winning just one of their last 11 Ligue 1 trips (D3, L7), a sequence that includes six defeats without reply, that seems unlikely.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Lille won both H2Hs last season 2-0, continuing a trend that’s seen none of the last four meetings feature goals at both ends. Angers have won just one of their last six trips to Lille (D1, L4).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Lille are unbeaten against sides starting this round in the bottom ten of Ligue 1 (W4, D1).[/p]
[p]Lille have led at half-time in just three of their ten Ligue 1 games this season (HT: D4, L3).[/p]
[p]Angers are the only team yet to concede after the 75th minute in Ligue 1 this season.[/p]
[p]Angers’ last four H2H goals have all come beyond the hour mark.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Hákon Arnar Haraldsson dominated this fixture last season, directly contributing to three of Lille’s four goals across a pair of wins (G1, A2). Busy trying to tie him down will be Ousmane Camara, whose last-gasp equaliser against Marseille on Wednesday was the first goal of his senior career![/p]
[p]Lille don’t appear to have any fresh injury concerns, but Angers’ Louis Mouton went off injured in midweek to join Prosper Peter on the sidelines.[/p]
