Prediction: 2-1
Angers
Clermont and Angers take on each other at Stade Gabriel Montpied on Sunday afternoon. Clermont aim to build on back-to-back wins over Ajaccio and Troyes, and they are seen as favourites to beat Angers on home soil as well. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Pascal Gastien is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Troyes at the weekend.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Lille, and they managed to get one, but that is unlikely to help them avoid relegation to Ligue 2. Considering that the rock-bottom side have already suffered 11 defeats on the road this season, we predict that the in-form hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. All Amine Salama, Miha Blazic, Ilyes Chetti, Ali Kalla, and Ulrick Eneme-Ella remain on the sidelines through injuries.
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.
