Angers vs Lille recent form
Angers is in danger. The club promoted in 2024 is currently 15th in French Ligue 1 with 30 points, 3 more than the relegation play-off spot. The SCO are lacking in attacking inspiration and have scored just 3 goals in 7 games. Against Lille, this would prove even more complicated.
Lille have alternated between good and bad this season. A lack of consistency (7 defeats, 15 wins and 8 draws) is complicating their path towards direct qualification for the LDC. LOSC currently occupy 5th position in the Ligue 1 table, a point off the podium.
