- Competition: Ligue 1
- Date: Sunday, 27th April 2025
- Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CEST
- Venue: Stade Raymond-Kopa (Angers)
Angers are in danger of being relegated after only one season since returning to Ligue 1. With four rounds left, Angers are only three points above the drop zone, so they need a few more good results to secure their place in the strongest French competition. However, Angers are in a terrible moment with six defeats in the last seven matches. Last weekend, they lost 2-1 on the road against Nice. The home side ended the game with xG of 2.75, while the guests had only 0.27, so Angers couldn't expect anything other than defeat.
Lille are among the teams fighting for the Champions League spot. Currently, Bruno Genesio's team is fourth, but only four points separate the teams from second to seventh position, and every point could be crucial in the final four matches. Lille played well in the previous weeks, with three wins in the last four games. In the previous Ligue 1 round, Genesio's team won 3-1 at home against Auxerre. The home side dominated from the first whistle. They scored two goals already in the first half and had complete control of the game.
Angers vs Lille pick: Lille to win
Although Angers need points urgently, they are in a terrible moment. The biggest problem is their poor attacking line. Angers scored only three goals in the last seven matches. On the other hand, Lille are playing well, so they should win on Sunday afternoon at Stade Raymond-Kopa.

Lille have some problems with missing players, too. Angel Gomes, Tiago Santos, Samuel Umtiti, and Edon Zhegrova are injured and will not play on Sunday in Angers. The head coach, Bruno Genesio, will likely field the same starting lineup that beat Auxerre last weekend.
