With 41 points in the asset, occupying the 12th line in the table and having an advantage of 16 points from the play-out zone, Angers can easily finish the championship for their own pleasure. St.Etienne are 11 points ahead so Angers are not battling for anything this season. In the last round, Angers beat the last team in the table, Caen, and before that 5 games in a row played in a draw. But all the contenders with the exception of Marseille were from the bottom of the table.
Lyon had a week to work on the mistakes and restore their condition. The line-up of his one of the strongest in the league, PSG do not take into account, this is the cream of society that fin the league title after the first half of the season. Lyon need to improve greatly if they keen on keeping the place in eurocup zone.. Besides St.Etienne, there is Marseille, closing 5-point gap behind today’s hosts. Lyon beat Angers even on his field in the reverse fixture.. Surely "weavers" will repeat this result at home. And in order not to tempt the fate with 3rd defeat in a row, they will not put off the business and try to score in one half. Higher qualifications and sports rage after 2 consecutive losses will certainly play a role in the opening of match. And the field is just on the class of the owners will bring the match to win. Lyon took 10 victories in 16 home games of the championship and in 6 of them won already in the 1st half.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win the first half and the match.
