Lens vs Angers Betting Tips & Prediction – Lens to Keep Their Ligue 1 Title Dream Alive
Lens are on track to secure another victory at home against Angers. The team has won 12 of their last 13 home matches and looks to add another win as they face an Angers team that has lost more than half of its road games. With key players available and Angers' struggle on the road apparent, Lens appears well-positioned to win, likely without conceding. This continued success is crucial as they chase Paris SG in the race for the Ligue 1 title.

Hosts are the Biggest Surprise Package This Season
Lens are the only team capable of challenging Paris SG in the Ligue 1 title race this season, sitting in 2nd place with a one-point deficit from the Saints, but their recent form has been poor.
The Blood and Gold had a rough period in late February where first they lost 3-2 to Monaco at home, followed by a 1-1 road draw against Strasbourg, while this winless run ended with a 3-0 win over Metz earlier this month.
Last weekend, Pierre Sage’s side lacked creativity and had just one goal opportunity in a 2-1 road loss to Lorient, Odsonne Edouard being their sole scorer.
Visitors Hit a Rough Patch Recently
Angers are likely to avoid the relegation battle completely this season, comfortably sitting in middle of Ligue 1 table with 32 points after 26 rounds (15 above the danger zone).
Their recent form has been quite poor, suffering three consecutive defeats to Lorient 2-0, Lille 1-0 and Monaco in the second half of February, while starting this month with a 1-0 road win at Nantes.
Last weekend, Angers hosted struggling Nice and lost 2-0, registering just one shot on target while the opposition had eight.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Lens (3-4-2-1) Robin Risser, Nidal Celik, Ismaelo Ganiou, Malang Sarr, Saud Abdulhamid, Mamadou Sangare, Adrien Thomasson, Matthieu Udol, Florian Thauvin, Rayan Fofana, Odsonne Edouard
Hosts can’t count on services of Jonathan Gradit, Samson Baidoo, Wesley Said and Regis Gurtner. Allan Saint-Maximin is doubtful.
Angers (3-5-2) Herve Koffi, Marius Courcoul, Ousmane Camara, Jordan Lefort, Lillian Raolisoa, Louis Mouton, Haris Belkebla, Branco van den Boomen, Harouna Djibirin, Amine Sbai, Goduine Koyalipou
Carlens Arcus is the only injury concern for the visitors (sore groin).
Verdict
Lens have an amazing record against Angers in the last couple of years and are the strongest hosts in Ligue 1 this season. I don’t expect them to face any difficulties on Friday.
