We said: Lille 2-0 Angers
Despite having one eye on their trip to the Czech capital in midweek, Lille's rotated side should still be strong enough to beat an unfancied Angers side.
While the current squad is unlikely to falter in the same fashion as their predecessors from 2022-23, Angers are likely going to find it tough here, and starting with two defeats does not bode well for the rest of the season.
