Angers take on the visitors Montpellier at the Raymond Kopa Stadium in the 13th tour of the Ligue 1 Conforama. The match will be played in the eponymous city Angers on Saturday, November 10th.
Angers are on the fifteenth place in the Ligue 1 Conforama with three victories to their credit after starting twelve tours. They have managed to beat the outsiders of the league Monaco and Dijon and one of the favourites of the league Lille this season. In their other league fixtures so far Les Scoistes have managed to get only draws and losses. Overall, they have been on a downswing recently. Last tour the team of Stephane Moulin tried hard but lost to Saint-Etienne in the end anyway. Interestingly, they have already faced Montpellier twice this year and have lost both of those games. It`s worth noting that the key defender of the team Ismael Traore will miss the upcoming match because of the injury to him. Seven other players of Angers are questioned to play on Saturday. Even if they play though they will not make a big impact on the playing style of the team anyway. It is likely that Les Scoistes will struggle against Montpellier on Saturday. In their last three matches Angers lost to Saint-Etienne with a 3-4 score, to Guingamp in a penalty shootout in the 1/16-finals fixture of the Coupe de la Ligue and to Lyon with a 1-2 score.

Montpellier are on the second place in the Ligue 1 Conforama at the moment. Their goal is to go through to the UEFA Champions League this season. However, there is Lille right behind them in the table with the same amount of points. La Paillade have managed to get seven victories, four draws and one loss so far this Ligue 1 Conforama season. Interestingly, the only loss so far has happened in the first tour of the season for them. Furthermore, the team of Michel Der Zakarian has scored three times more than they have conceded so far in the league. It`s worth noting that almost no key players for Montpellier will miss the upcoming game. It is likely that La Paillade will score some goals on Saturday too. In their last three matches Montpellier beat Marseille with a 3-0 score, lost to Nantes with a 0-3 score in their 1/16-finals fixture of the Coupe de la Ligue and beat Toulouse with a 3-0 score.
Montpellier often lean on their offensive line in their Ligue 1 Conforama matches. This helps them to make a huge number of shots on goal. Angers on the other hand are far from their peak shape and are on a downswing right now. La Paillade are the favourite in the lead-up to the upcoming fixture and that`s no surprise at all. The team of Michel Der Zakarian competes for the Champions League zone in the table so they are unlikely to lose to Angers on Saturday.
Prediction for the match: Montpellier to win with 0 handicap.
