Angers vs Lens Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
Lens will start a busy 2024/25 season with an away Ligue 1 match at Angers on Sunday. As the hosts seek to end Lens’ head-to-head dominance, we have the match preview and prediction ready for you.
Angers’ target, apart from checking their bad run against Lens, will be to stay up after their promotion. The hosts finished second in Ligue 2 to secure their place here and will be out to fight for it.
Having been here before, they know things will not get any smoother in the topflight. Angers restart their Ligue 1 journey against an opponent they’ve lost to in three straight matches.
Le SCO won just one of their last eight fixtures against Lens. The last time they played in this league they managed just one win in eight matches. Six of the eight games ended in defeat. They also wrapped up preseason on three straight losses.
Last season Lens failed to live up to the high standards they set in the earlier campaign. They still managed to get a European football slot, finishing seventh in the league.
There is a sense of stability even though their top striker Elye Wahi left for Marseille. New manager Will Still will be happy to start on a fresh slate but their previous run against Angers is an encouraging stepping stone.
Another motivation will be the team’s five wins in seven preseason matches. The latest of those was a 3-0 victory against Leicester City. Lens wrapped up last season with just a loss in five league matches.
Still must, however, address their away day woes, the team having failed to win any of the last four in the league.

Our Angers vs Lens Prediction
In bidding to improve on last season, Lens must target extending their good run against Angers. The hosts here had a good finish to their Ligue 2 campaign ending in promotion but their preseason performances weren’t great.
Lens, on the other hand, finished preseason strongly and have what it takes to carry the same to this fixture. Having won their last three matches against Angers makes them favorites here despite playing away from home. They won in four of their last five visits to Angers as well.
Our prediction for Angers v Lens is for Lens to win.
