  • Having beaten Reims on Matchday One, Lille could win their first two games of a Ligue 1 campaign for the first time since 2006/07.
  • Angers are injury-ridden, but looked competitive enough against Lens in their opening game.
  • SCO will be playing their first away match in Ligue 1 since a 1-0 defeat at Nantes in June 2023, and are looking to turn around a horrific record on the road from their relegation season.
  • They have only won just three of their 38 Ligue 1 away games since the start of the 2021/22 season.
