Angers vs Lorient Prediction & Betting Tips (26 October)

A victory at the opening of the season against Paris FC 1-0 and that's it. Angers can't do it and has just won a seventh game in a row against Monaco 1-1. However, a flattering result on paper against a big elite fish. The SCO at least put an end to a series of 3 defeats conceded against Lyon 1-0, Brest 0-2 and Strasbourg 5-0 before the international break. The Anjou club is penultimate with the same total points as the first non-relegation team.

 13th in Ligue 1, the promoted Lorient is ahead of his opponent of the day by 2 points and has already joined the fight for maintenance. The champion of the last Ligue 2 season could even have slipped a little further if he had not equalized in the final moments against Brest the previous weekend 3-3. The Merlus were left with a defeat at Paris FC 2-0 before the break and gleaned 2 victories in 8 days, including at the end of September against AS Monaco 3-1. 

The SCO continues to plan without winger Allevinah (substitute) who is recovering from surgery. Also absent against Monaco, the secondary elements Capelle (midfielder) and Biumla (defender) are uncertain for this poster. Alexandre Dujeux was able to count on Chérif's first goal of the season to take the point of a draw against ASM, a match started by offensive rookie Sbaï. There should be no major change in the Lorient group compared to the last match.

The infirmary still retains defender Isaak Touré (no match), offensive recruit Sanusi who will have to wait a while before making his debut, right piston Katseris, winger Karim (no goal) and attacking midfielder Fadiga (no match). Olivier Pantaloni was able to rejoice in finding Adjei last weekend but did not offer him any playing time. With 3 goals, Pagis is the best scorer in Lorient. 

• Summary: Angers is going head to head with Lorient starting on 26 Oct 2025 at 16:15 UTC at Stade Raymond Kopa stadium, Angers city, France. The match is a part of the Ligue 1 .
• Referee: Benoît Bastien
