Angers
Saturday’s football game at Roazhon Park pits together Rennes and Angers, the two teams who were beaten by Lille and Nimes respectively on the opening day of the season. Rennes experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the defeat to les Dogues, but it is well known that they are not regarded as good travelers. Les Rouges et Noirs were producing fine showings at home last term and it is no surprise they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. A man to watch in the home team will be Diafra Sakho, who played for West Ham United from 2014 to 2017. Les Scoistes struggle on the travels as well and seeing that their defence was pretty shaky in the 4-3 loss to Nimes, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Rennes this time out.
Highlighted Player (Ludovic Baal):
Ludovic Baal is a left-footed football player who was born on May 24, 1988. Baal was born in Paris, but he is a product of the Le Mans youth academy and it has to be noted that he made 12 appearances for the club in his first season with the MMArena outfit.
His main position is left-back, but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well. Considering that he is a French-born player, Ludovic Baal was illegible to play for both France and the French Guayana national team.
Baal decided to represent French Guayana on international stage and he made three appearances for the team in the group stages of the 2012 Caribbean Cup. He found the net in a 4-1 win over Anguilla, with Gary Pigree scoring a hat-trick for French Guayana. Ludovic Baal currently play for Rennes as a left-back and his contract with the Ligue 1 outfit expires on June 30, 2019.
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.
