Prediction: 1-2
Brest
Angers will be aiming to build on the Coupe de France win over FC 93 when they take on Brest in the Ligue 1 round 16. Les Scoistes are eager to escape the danger zone, but given their poor displays in back-to-back losses to Lyon (0-3) and Rennes (0-2), home win should not be considered. Both Justin-Noel Kalumba and Emmanuel Biumla are sidelined with injuries, while defender Halid Sabanovic faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Nantes. As Angers suffered yet another dip in form in the French top flight, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. To make things even better for the visiting side, towering striker Ludovic Ajorque is back from suspension. All Pierre Lees-Melou, Julien Le Cardinal, and Bradley Locko miss out with injuries.
