Angers vs Reims Prediction & Betting tips
Angers and Stade Reims both went down last weekend and took revenge. Can either team win on Sunday afternoon or can we expect a draw between these kings of the draw?
Angers:
On a visit to Olympique Lyonnais, Angers went 2-0 behind last round of play and the Stéphan Moulin team was happy with that, given the field conditions. In the second half, his team’s play wasn’t much better, but thanks to some good saves by Ludovic Butelle and an own goal by Lucas Tousart, the game ended in a modest 2-1 loss for Angers. With five games to go, the Moulin team doesn’t play for anything anymore and even a place in the right-hand row seems to be difficult for the team from the west of France.
A major disadvantage for les Scoiïstes at the end of the season is the absence of top scorer Stéphane Bahoken. The attacker from Cameroon already had ten hits this season, including three in his last six games. The Cameroonian were forced to skip the last two competition duels and the attack against Stade Reims does not seem to make it to the attacker. On the offensive, that is quite a loss for Moulin, because the shared numbers two on the top scorers list, Thomas Mangani and Flavien Tait, both scored four goals this season, or less than the entire goal production of Bahoken.
Stade Reims:
This season, the Stade Auguste-Delaune seemed to be an almost impregnable fortress in French football, but last game round, Stade Reims was tapped from the box to the wall in his own stadium. At halftime it was only 1-0 for AS Saint-Étienne and also in the second half the visitors came on the scoreboard again by an own goal from Björn Engels. In total, Stade Reims scored just one shot, making it clear that the team is still denying quality for a place in the top five this season and therefore does not appear to be in Europe next season.
Defensively this season is doing well with the team that last season won the Ligue 2, but on the offensive side the team is too dependent on Rémi Oudin. The winger this season scored ten of the 32 goals of his team, or more than 31% of the total goal production of Stade Reims. In the last four games, Oudin scored only one goal and his teammates even to zero, leaving the doctoral candidate only two points from these games and dropping to seventh place in the ranking.
