Team News

Lens
Angers
  • Lens are unlikely to make changes after a comprehensive win over Clermont last weekend.
  • The hosts have lately lined up in a 4-2-3-1 and should keep faith with that system after last weekend.
  • After hitting a hat trick last week, Loïs Openda should again lead the line for Le Sang et Or.
  • Nabil Bentaleb is back from suspension and should feature for the visitors.
  • Angers look to have shifted to a 5-3-2 since the departure of Abdel Bouhazama.
  • Ibrahima Niane could also be an option in attack.

Prediction

  • Lens looked back to their incisive best against Clermont and should have no problem dispatching the league's bottom side here.
  • Things have gone from bad to worse this season for managerless Angers, and a trip to the cauldron that is the Stade Bollaert-Delelis is unlikely to be much of a tonic for the Bretons.
