Angers x Caen
French football, football of fear where no one seems to believe that the benefit of a win is far greater than what can be lost. Consistency here is not losing and teams play to get draws, a win is a consequence of the opponents' failure.
Playing at home we have Angers, in 6th place, 3 points away from a promotion spot. They are almost dependent on themselves since they have only played 33 games so far compared to the 34 that the last promotion spot holder currently has. They will want to win to get closer to their objective, however, it will be more important not to lose. Last 5 games, 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses.
The away side today is Caen, 4th place holder and in an extremely good position to take their place in next year's Ligue 1. They have 53 points, 1 less than current last promotion spot holders and only 32 matches played, compared to their contenders 34. They have the spot up for grabs and will try to take the 3 points. Last 5 games, 3 wins, 2 losses.
I don't see any of the teams risking too much as both will be looking to score and take a promotion spot. I predict very tight defences from both sides and therefore I am going for this match to end in a draw.
Predicted Score: Angers 1 - 1 Caen
Official Tip: Draw @ 3.20 on BET365
