Angers vs Caen Prediction 27.11.2023

• Competition: France &— Ligue 2
• Date: Monday, 27th, November 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20.45 CET
• Venue: Stade Raymond-Kopa (Angers)

After a disastrous season in the top tier, which ended with relegation to the second division, Angers is hopeful for a quick return to France’s elite clubs. Despite their demotion, the Le SCO team remained undeterred and have firmly set their sights on a comeback. They currently hold an impressive second place, just two points behind the leader, Laval, whom they’re determined to surpass at the earliest opportunity. The Black and Whites also had a golden chance to claim the top spot in Ligue 2 just before the international break, but this plan was thwarted by Pau FC. They ended up in an intense eight-goal draw, with a final score of 4-4.

Caen, which competed in France’s top division and sought entry into the European club scene just eight years ago, no longer resembles that squad. The Normandy-based team has been in the second tier of French football for five consecutive years. However, when comparing their performance over the last three seasons, and especially in the most recent completed season, it’s clear they haven’t met expectations. Even though they had a promising start to the 2023-24 Ligue 2 season, Les Vikings have seen a significant decline. This is clearly evidenced by their current 13th place standing, only three points away from the relegation zone.

Angers vs Caen Betting Tips: Angers to Win

Despite the challenges faced by well-known promotion contenders, Angers is thriving, exceeding expectations and basking in its quiet success. The team started the 2023-24 Ligue 2 season with a disappointing score of two points from the first three matches. However, Le SCO turned their fortunes around by winning eight of the next 11 league games, propelling them to an impressive second place. Alexandre Dujeux’s team, currently in high spirits, is preparing to play against Caen, a team that is currently struggling. The once formidable Les Vikings, who started the season with a perfect score of 12 points from four matches, seem to have forgotten how to win.

Caen, following a thrilling 3-3 six-goal draw against Quevilly Rouen in a recent Ligue 2 clash, has extended their unfortunate winless streak to 11 matches (D4, L7). This led to the dismissal of coach Jean-Marc Furlan. Without their key leader on the bench, Caen is bound to face a challenging day, particularly as they visit the Stade Raymond Kopa, a stadium that has proven to be an unassailable fortress this season.

Literally unstoppable in their fortress, Le SCO could secure a sixth consecutive home victory against the lackluster Caen and continue to apply pressure on Ligue 2 leaders, Laval.
