Valenciennes, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Auxerre will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Valenciennes. Their share of possession in that meeting was 32%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Auxerre, who had 17 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 13 games at Stade du Hainaut this season.
It has not been their best home spell of late at Stade du Hainaut, with 3 defeats and only a single victory in their last 6 home matches.
Angers, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 home win over Ajaccio in their last league game, Angers will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Ajaccio's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, and they have recorded 11 clean sheets from the 27 games played so far this season.
Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.
Loïs Diony has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Valenciennes.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Angers produced a comfortable 2-0 victory.
In their last 2 league meetings with Les Scoïstes, VAFC have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal.
With no real injury worries, VAFC manager Ahmed Kantari will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Angers manager Alexandre Dujeux has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
