Prediction: 2-0
Angers
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Sevilla in the Champions League, Lille will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Ligue when 1 when they face Angers on Saturday. Les Dogues are on a three-game winless run in the national championship, but they are still seen as favourites to beat les Scoistes on home soil. Canada international David, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, will be the man to watch in the home team, whilst Andre returns from suspension. Burak Yilmaz should miss out through illness.
Angers, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the previous three league fixtures. Since les Scoistes failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Nice at the weekend, we are tempted to put our money on Lille. All Sada Thioub, Abdoulaye Bamba, and Zinedine Ould Khaled are injured for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Jonathan Bamba):
After spending his youth career at CS Paris-Charenton, UJA AlfortVille and Saint-Etienne, Jonathan Bamba started playing for Saint-Etienne II at senior level. In 2015 he was given a chance to prove his worth with the first team and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 42 appearances for les Verts in Ligue 1.
Following his loan spells with Paris, Sint-Truiden and Angers, Jonathan Bamba joined Lille in the summer of 2018. The pacey winger born in Alfortville (France) on March 26, 1996, has been playing for les Dogues ever since, but he has yet to earn a cap for the French national team. Nonetheless, Jonathan Bamba has 12 caps with France U21 in which he scored four goals for les Tricolores.
Jonathan Bamba’s main position is left winger, but he is used as a centre-forward as well. The French footballer, whose preferred foot is right, has a contract with Lille until June 30, 2023.
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.
