Lorient vs Angers
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, 6th May 2017
Kick off at 19:00 UK / 20:00 CET
Venue: Stade du Moustoir, Lorient.

Lorient received a setback last weekend with a loss to Nantes, but that was always going to be a difficult match. Now back at home the club who have made a superb escape from the bottom three will want to push on.

Lorient currently are on a 2 game home winning streak having beaten Caen and Metz. They scored 5 against Metz and will fancy their chances against Angers.

Angers have lost 5 games in a row and lost 2-1 to Lyon last weekend at home. The buzz about Angers is that they will play in the Coupe de France final against PSG and this has taken over from any league form.

However, the club who are on 39 points will feel they need another win to really feel safe. Angers come into this game having lost their last 3 matches on the road.

Lorient vs Angers: Prediction

This could be a very close game and the only bet that sticks out for us is seeing goals. Going for over 2.5 goals looks like a great solid bet for this match and for us to draw some profits from. Lorient will go out all attack but Angers are a decent team, and goals are on the menu for this match.
