Prediction: 1-1
Montpellier
Stade Raymond-Kopa will host Sunday’s football game between Angers and Montpellier. Les Scoistes head into the match following a goalless draw with Brest where they had several clear-cut opportunities to seal the victory. Angers aim to retain their spot in top ten, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the Montpellier clash. The likes of Ali Cho, Thioub, Cabot, Alioui, and Ebosse are all out of contention through injuries.
La Paillade, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Bordeaux. Montpellier are eager to move closer to the Europa League berth, but beating Angers on the road is easier said than done. A close match is on the horizon at Stade Raymond-Kopa, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Ambroise Oyongo should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Romain Thomas):
Romain Thomas is a product of Brest football academy and he made three appearances for the first team during his spell at Stade Francis-Le Bie. Thomas spent the 2008/2009 season on loan at Pacy Vallee-d’Eure and in 2010 he moved to lower-league side USJA Carquefou.
After spending three seasons at the club the 193-cm-tall defender, who is very good in the air, moved to Angers. Romain Thomas quickly established himself as a first team regular at the club and you should know that he made 36 appearances for the Ligue 1 side in the 2016/2017 season.
Despite playing as a defender, the French footballer often finds the net and he scored his first goal for Angers on September 27, 2013 in a 1-1 draw with Tours. The centre-back, whose preferred foot is right, was born in Landerneau, France on June 12, 1988. Romain Thomas’ contract with les Scoistes expires on June 30, 2019.
Highlighted Team (Montpellier):
Over the years Montpellier have established themselves as a mid-table side in French Ligue 1. Montpellier are considered one of the youngest clubs in France as they were founded in 1974, but it has to be noted that a number of high-profile footballers played for the club in the past. French football legend Laurent Blanc played for Montpellier from 1981-1993 and he scored 76 goals in 24 appearances in the league for the club. Eric Cantona, Roger Milla, Carlos Valderama and Olivier Giroud played in Montpellier’s colors as well, but Pascal Baills is the player with most appearances for the club (429).
La Paillade did remarkably well to win the Ligue 1 trophy in 2012 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Montpellier won Coupe de France on two occasions (1929, 1990), with the team beating FC Sete and FC Paris respectively in the title games. The team welcome their rivals at Stade de la Mosson and the capacity of the stadium is 32.900. In 1999 Montpellier won the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
