Angers SCO is preparing to face Lens on Friday at 20:45 for the 27th matchday of Ligue 1. The Angevin club will be without Hervé Koffi and Goduine Koyalipou, both loaned by Lens. Alexandre Dujeux, the Scoïste coach, has chosen to start Oumar Pona in goal to replace Koffi. Trained at SCO, the 19-year-old goalkeeper will have his second start of the season in Ligue 1. Oumar Pona had already replaced Koffi at Monaco on February 28, where the Angevins lost 0-2. Alexandre Dujeux said that Oumar Pona had done good things at Monaco, even if he could have done better. The young goalkeeper represents the future of the club and Dujeux hopes he will have a great game at Lens. Angers SCO is looking to bounce back after a defeat against Monaco. The Angevin club currently occupies 12th place in the Ligue 1 standings. The match against Lens will be important for the Angevins, who must face increased competition for European places. Oumar Pona will be under pressure to perform against Lens. The young goalkeeper must prove that he is capable of replacing Koffi effectively. The game will be played at Bollaert-Delelis, Lens' stadium, in front of a hostile crowd. Angers SCO must be solid in defense to contain Lens' attacks. The match will be broadcast at 20:45 and Angevin supporters will be able to follow their team on TV or online.
