Key facts

• Lois Diony, Sofiane Boufal and Azzedine Ounahi will not play for Angers
• Yvon Mvogo is out for Lorient
• Both teams have won 2 of the last 5 head-to-head games
• The last 6 games between these two have ended under 2.5 goals

Angers is at the bottom of the league and it will take a miracle to survive and hold their spot in the elite group. Unlike them, Lorient is having an excellent season and is targeting a spot that may lead them in the Champions League. Lorient is only 2 points lower from the top 4 teams and this game may get them where they want to be.  There is a huge gap between these two teams in the standings which is not visible given the odds. The reason for that is the tight schedule as Lorient will play Montpellier on Thursday and will have one less day to rest before this game since Anger is playing Ajjacio on Wednesday. However, Lorient is definitely the better team and the odds of 1.79 for draw no bet seems like a real New Year's present.
