Angers take on the visitors Bordeaux at “Stade Jean-Bouin” in the starting match of the French Ligue 1 of 2017/2018 season. The game will be played on Sunday, August 6th.
Last season Angers occupied the 12th place in the French elite division with 46 points taken and 40-49 goal difference. This summer the club has earned good enough having sold Nicolas Pepe and Famara Diedhiou for 10 and six million EUR respectively. During the summer break the side played six friendly encounters resulting in four wins, single draw and a defeat, seven goals for and four goals against, keeping their tactics of solid play in defense.

Last season Bordeaux settled on the sixth place in Ligue 1 table with 59 points gained and 53-43 goal difference. This summer the club sold Adam Ounas and Nicolas Pallois for 10 and 1.7 million EUR correspondingly, having spent this money for signing Vukasin Jovanovic, Alexandre Mendy, Youssouf Sabaly and Lukas Lerager for the total sum of 11.1 million EUR. Bordeaux have already opened the new season having sensationally been knocked out from the UEFA Europa League by Hungarian Videoton 2:1, 0:1 because of a goal conceded at their home field.
Angers have not been beaten by Bordeaux across their last four head-to-heads, having gained three wins and a draw in them. Taking into account the fact that Angers are the hosting side in the forthcoming fight, I believe that they will pick up points against Bordeaux which were knocked out from the Euroepan tournament and, it was a defeat on the road which didn’t allow the team to qualify for the next round of the Eurocups.
Prediction for the match: Angers to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
