On Mar 18th, Angers SCO and Lens will play a match in Lens in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Ligue 1 teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Lens is fresh off their 4-0 shutout win against Clermont. Loïs Openda scored the first goal for Lens in the 30th minute, then Loïs Openda added another in the 34th minute on a feed from Adrien Thomasson In the end, Clermont couldn’t muster any offence and Lens ran away with the shutout win. Lens is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while angers SCO sits at 20th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-2 loss against Toulouse. Mikkel Desler struck first for Toulouse in the 37th minute, then Thijs Dallinga added another in the 46th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Angers SCO couldn’t manage to score, and Toulouse took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 8 of their last 10.
In their last match together, Lens won by a score of 2 to 1. Wesley Saïd struck first for Lens in the 21st minute on a feed from Sotoca, then Facundo Medina added another in the 51st minute on a feed from Kevin Danso.
Rayan Raveloson and Nabil Bentaleb are the top scorers for Angers SCO in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Loïs Openda has been the most prolific scorer on Lens in the last five matches with three goals
Franck Haise’s squad will be without Alexis Claude Maurice, Facundo Medina, Wuilker Faríñez and Leca, while Ibrahim Amadou, Faouzi Ghoulam, Ulrick Eneme-Ella, Zinédine Ould Khaled, Ilyes Chetti, Ali Kalla and Jimmy Cabot are unavailable to play for Abdelaziz Bouhazama’s team.
