On Tuesday evening, Angers host Bordeaux in Ligue One, as the home side attempts to move further clear of the relegation zone in the French top-flight.

Angers are currently just three points clear of the relegation play-off spot and a win would move them above their 13th place visitors in the French top-flight table.

The home side has won just one of their last 11 league games, while drawing their last five in Ligue One, including drawing 0-0 at Amiens in their last game in the French top-flight.

Angers recent league games have been tight, low scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last six matches in the French top-flight.

They have struggled for home wins of late in Ligue One, winning just one of their last seven matches on home soil in the French top-flight. However, Angers have drawn their last two home games in the league and they are unbeaten in three home games.

Bordeaux are enjoying an indifferent campaign in the French top-flight this season. The visitors could move up two places in the table with a win in this potentially tight clash, though.

Just like their hosts, Bordeaux have become fond of a draw of late, as five of their last seven games have finished all square. Last time out in the French top-flight they suffered a defeat, though, a 1-0 loss at Nice.

Bordeaux’s recent league games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine matches in Ligue One.

The visitors have won just once in their last eight away matches in Ligue One, failing to win in their last five games on their travels. Their recent away games in the French top-flight have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five away games.

Unsurprisingly considering the history of recent draws for these two teams matches, Forebet predicts that this game will finish in a low scoring draw.
