Angers
Welcome to our preview of the game between Nantes and Angers, played in Nantes on the 21st of December, 2019. This will be a game between two teams that have overachieved slightly this season. Nantes have certainly surprised and are currently placed 5th, only a point behind Rennes in 4th. Angers are 10th but have been in poor form recently. The away side in this game have lost 3 of their last 5 games, recording a win only against the second-to-last Nimes at home.
Nantes have excelled under the guidance of Christian Gourcuff, who was placed as the coach in August. They have been known as a tough opponent this season; while they haven’t scored too many goals (only 16), they are pretty tight at the back. Considering the circumstances, we expect a low-scoring game where the home side will prevail.

Highlighted Player (Alban Lafont):
Alban Lafont is a French goalkeeper who plays for Ligue 1 side Toulouse. Born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Lafont joined AS Lattoise youth school at the age of nine and he stayed at the academy until 2014 when he moved to Toulouse.
The 193-cm-tall goalkeeper has established himself as a first-choice goalkeeper at Toulouse and it has to be noted that he made 36 appearances for the club in the 2016/2017 season, keeping 10 clean sheets in the process. Due to his dual citizenship, Alban Lafont is eligible to represent both Burkina Faso and France on international stage, but he has yet to play for the African team.
Alban Lafont represented les Tricolores at youth level and, no doubt, there is a bright future ahead of the talented shoot-stopper who was born on January 23, 1999. The rising star has a contract with Toulouse which expires on June 30, 2020.
