Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Angers will be desperate to record their first win of the season when they take on Reims in the Ligue 1 round 6. Les Scoistes are eager to give fans something to cheer about and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Reims. All Jacques Ekomie, Joseph Lopy, and Justin-Noel Kalumba are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Meanwhile, les Rouges et Blancs have been showing signs of improvement of late and given their fine displays in a 1-1 draw with star-studded PSG, away win should definitely be considered. Reda Khadra has joined the likes of Joseph Okumu, Gabriel Moscardo, and Abdoul Kone in the recovery room, but there are no other selection worries in the away team. In their last meeting at the venue Reims defeated Angers 4-2 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon.
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.
