Prediction: Lens 2-1 Angers
Lens have been in such positions before and turned it around. We expect more of the same from the highly improved French side this time as well.
Angers has also been inconsistent in recent weeks and are put for this contest.
It is set to be a back and forth, open contest between the two top 6 sides.
But with the quality and ability to turn it around, we see the hosts nicking this one.
Players to watch out for: Sotoca, Kakuta, Cho and Boufal.
