Lille pick up where they left off after finishing third last term with sixty-one points, while Angers attempt to improve on a thirteenth-place finish where they managed thirty-six points. This opening round encounter extends a difficult period for the hosts, who entered the fixture without a victory across nine consecutive outings in all competitions.
The visitors arrived following a mixed run that included a narrow away triumph against Monaco, though they also suffered a home defeat to Auxerre in their recent sequence. Recent history heavily favoured the side from northern France, who maintained a sequence of victories in this fixture without conceding, including a one-nil triumph away at Angers earlier this year.
Following this outcome, Marseille lead the fourteen-team table on three points, leaving Angers three points behind the early pacesetters. Angers travel away to face Auxerre on the twenty-ninth of August, while Lille return home to host Paris Saint-Germain on the twenty-eighth of August.
