Angers Insights.

Angers enter this Ligue 1 (L1) game after suffering the joint-second largest loss in the club’s history as they were hammered 6-1 at PSG last time out, in what was their third consecutive match to produce over 3.5 goals. A quick start could be on the cards then, as five of Angers’ six L1 fixtures this campaign have witnessed at least one goal in the opening 30 minutes. ‘Le SCO’ are on a run of 13 consecutive top-flight games without a draw (W6, L7), which has also been the case in each of their last six competitive H2Hs (W4, L2). The hosts often start on the back foot, as evidenced by the fact that 100% of the L1 home goals they’ve conceded this season arrived before HT.

Metz Insights.

Visiting Metz are on a run of three straight league matches without a loss (W2, D1). Significantly, each of their last five L1 fixtures have featured a draw at HT, with four of those matches witnessing one goal from the 87th minute onward. Netting first could be the visitors’ key to victory, as each of Metz’s last 12 league road trips that produced a winner saw the victorious side on the day score first. In fact, they will be especially keen for a good start considering they are unbeaten in the last eight L1 away games in which they netted before HT (W4, D4).
