Lille are one win away from a sixth top flight title in France, and they will be traveling to Angers hoping to secure their first Ligue 1 title since 2-10/11. Lille, the league leaders are ahead of PSG, the defending champions by just a point and only a win will guarantee another title. They have 80 points ahead of this game against 12th placed Angers, who have 44 points. Hosts Angers are hoping to rise to the top half of the standings and a win here may guarantee that if other results favor the same, but one win in the last nine league game really isn’t the form they’ll hope lifts them against title chasing Lille. They’ve lost five of the last six league matches and conceded two or more in four of the six. Angers have struggled at home too, winning just six of their 1 league games played there, and going to this, they have one win and four losses in the last seven at home. They’ve also failed to score in three of the last five home matches.

Lille should have wrapped up the Ligue 1 title in their last game but a 0-0 draw with Saint-Etienne saw PSG close in to within a point. Going to the final round of matches, Lille are still considered favorites but they can’t afford another slip up. While they’ve been top in defence, heading to the final round with the best defence in the league, Lille haven’t been up to scratch in attack. They have the least goals among the top four teams and go to this game with seven clean sheets in the last 10 league matches. In their last 19 league matches, Lille have suffered only one defeat – at home to Nimes but they also fell to Angers in their January meeting and will be hoping to avenge here. Playing away from home has favored Lille this season; they have only one loss in the 18 away games, and won 13. They have the best away record in the league, having garnered 43 points from their 18 away league matches. The league leaders go to this game with 11 wins in the last 12 away Ligue 1 matches.
