Angouleme host Lorient B on Saturday, Apr 24 at 6:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 5 points in the National 1 – Group B, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Angouleme come into this fixture in red-hot form (5W from last 5). Lorient B travel in good form (3W 1D 1L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Angouleme and Lorient B have split their 4 meetings almost evenly (1W–1D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Angouleme won 3–2.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Angouleme a slight edge, but Lorient B are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
