Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Brest will look to recover from the Coupe de France game defeat to Lens when they face Angers in the Ligue 1 round 20. Les Pirates are on a four-game winless run in the national championship, but a victory over Angers should see them escape the relegation zone. Both Mathias Pereira Lage and Romain Del Castillo are sidelined with injuries, while there are no suspended players in the home team.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only eight points on their account, and given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Sunday’s clash. Pierrick Capelle misses out through suspension, while all Chetti, Sabanovic, Amadou, Kalla, Fofana, and Eneme-Ella remain on the sidelines with injuries. In the first half of the season Brest defeated Angers 3-1, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Steve Mounié):
Steve Mounie is a Beninese footballer who plays for Huddersfield Town as a striker. Mounie is a product of Montpellier youth academy and, as a result, he was given a chance to prove his worth in the blue and orange shirt in Ligue 1 at senior level.
After scoring 14 goals in 37 appearances for la Paillade in the French elite division, the 190-cm-tall attacker moved to Huddersfield Town in 2017, but it has to be noted that he spent the 2015/2016 season at Nimes as a loan player. Steve Mounie signed a four-year deal with the Terriers and he made his competitive debut for the club on August 12, 2017, scoring a brace in a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.
The attacker who was born in Parakou (Benin) on September 29, 1994 will represent the Benin national team at the 2019 Africa Cup of nations. Mounie scored his first ever goal for the national team in a 2-1 win over South Sudan in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
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. Les Scoistes are well known for their black jerseys with white stripes, whilst the color of their away kits is white. Stade Raymond Kopa is the team’s home ground and the capacity of the stadium is 17.835.
The venues was opened back in 1912 and the stadium’s record attendance is 22.989 (April 26, 1969 vs. Olympique Marseille). Speaking of the club’s most notable players, we have to mention Fahid Ben Khalfallah, Vladica Kovacevic, Claudiu Keseru, Paul Alo’o, Amar Rouai and Cedric Daury. It has to be noted that the 2017/2018 season will be their 24th in the French top flight.
