Prediction: 2-0
Angers
Wednesday’s football game at Stade Municipal Saint-Symphorien pits together Metz and Angers, the two top-table sides. Metz aim to build on back-to-back wins over Nice and Bordeaux, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Angers. Cape Verde attacker Vagner, who found the net in the 2-1 win over les Girondins, is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their five-game winless run. Angers failed to find the net in the previous three away games in the Ligue 1, and given Metz’s current form, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the home team. Alioui remains quarantined, while Cabot, Cho, Ebosse, and Thioub are all out of contention through injuries. As for the home team, all Boahene, Nguette, N’Doram, Niane, and Cabit remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Opa Nguette):
After spending his youth career at Mantes and Valenciennes, Opa Nguette made his senior debut for Mantes in 2011. In 2012 he returned to his boyhood club Valenciennes and it has to be noted that the attacker scored 8 goals in 60 appearances for the club from 2012 to 2016.
Opa Nguette is currently playing for Metz in Ligue 1 and his contract with the club expires on June 30, 2019. The pacey footballer who is capable of playing as both left and right winger has three caps for France U20 team, but he made his senior debut with Senegal. Opa Nguette played 65 minutes in a 1-1 draw with Nigeria on his debut for the Senegal national team.
The Caen attacker, who was born in Mantes-la-Jolie on July 8, 1994, scored four goals for Metz in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign. He made three assists for his teammates as well during the season and you should bear in mind that he played 33 games in the league for les Grenats.
Highlighted Team (Angers):
French Football Federation was founded in 1919, with French football club Angers being founded the same year. Les Scoistes returned to the French top flight at the end of the 2014/2015 season and they finished the 2015/2016 Ligue 1 campaign in ninth place in the standings.
Angers were having their ups and downs in the 2016/2017 season and, as a result, they finished 12th.
