Angers – Lyon

Angers host Lyon in what promises to be a decisive clash in Ligue 1, with the home side languishing in 11th place on four points after one win, one draw and two defeats, their goal‑difference sitting at minus one (4‑5). Lyon, sitting comfortably in fourth with eight points from an unbeaten run of two wins and two draws and a solid +4 goal margin (6‑2), will look to extend their momentum and press the top‑half race. The two teams have met only sparingly this season, but Lyon’s defensive solidity and superior scoring record give them a clear edge on paper. For Angers, a victory would be a vital boost to lift them out of the relegation zone, while Lyon will aim to keep their unbeaten streak alive and solidify their push for European spots.
