Gerald Baticle and his men welcome Montpellier at home for the seventh round of the French Ligue 1. Winless this season, the hosts have a serious chance of taking the three points in the upcoming duel, as their opponent faces a huge injury crisis. Montpellier misses eight players for this game, also traveling without both their first-choice and second-choice goalkeeper. Angers' only absentee will be Ibrahim Amadou, who is however yet to debut for his new team as he suffers from an injury since the season began.

Angers comes from a 5-0 loss vs. Lyon, and is on a worrying four-game losing streak. Still, there is no doubt the hosts arrive at this clash with their whole starting eleven ready, and the same cannot be said for the visiting side. Montpellier is having a weird start to the campaign, winning three and losing three of the first six matches. They come from a 3-1 home defeat against Lille, putting an end to a two-game winning run. Olivier Dall'Oglio's squad has been awful at defending so far, conceding twelve goals in six games. The guests average two conceded goals per game, and with both of their goalkeepers out, this unpleasant trend might continue. So far, Montepellier's highlight of the 2022-23 season has been a 7-0 away win over Brest, but "La Paillade" hasn't given a good performance since that triumph.

Angers won in three of the last four home games vs. this club, the last one taking place in May when the hosts won 2-0. The guests were victorious on this ground only once since 2016, and will be considered an underdog at Stade Raymond Kopa in Sunday.

I expect the home team to win here. Good luck!

杰拉德·巴蒂尔和他的队友们在法国法甲第七轮主场欢迎蒙彼利埃。如果本赛季没有获胜，东道主在即将到来的决斗中有很大的机会拿到三分，因为他们的对手面临巨大的伤病危机。蒙彼利埃在本场比赛中错过了8名球员，他们的主力门将和替补门将也都没有出场。昂热斯唯一缺席的将是阿马杜，然而他还没有为新球队首秀，因为他从赛季开始就饱受伤病困扰。

愤怒队0 - 5输给里昂，目前正处于令人担忧的四连败。尽管如此，毫无疑问，东道主在这场比赛到来时，他们的首发11人都准备好了，而客队的情况却并非如此。蒙彼利埃的开局很奇怪，在前六场比赛中三胜三负。他们在主场1 - 3负于里尔，结束了两连胜的局面。奥利维耶-达尔-奥格利奥的球队到目前为止在防守上表现糟糕，在6场比赛中丢了12球。客人们场均丢球2个，而且他们的门将都不在，这种不愉快的趋势可能会持续下去。到目前为止，蒙彼利埃在2022-23赛季最精彩的一场比赛是客场7-0战胜布雷斯特，但“拉帕拉德”在那场胜利后就没有表现出好的表现。

在过去的四场主场比赛中，昂热队赢了三场，上一次是在5月份，东道主以2比0获胜。自2016年以来，客人们只在这片土地上取得过一次胜利，周日在雷蒙德·科帕球场，他们将被视为弱者。

我希望主队在这里获胜。好运！
