Angers recently equaled a sad record in Ligue 1, with 12 defeats in a row in 20 days. The SCO thus equals the performance of Dijon, relegated at the end of the 2020-2021 season. At this rate, the Angevins can do even worse…
SCO Angers is having a nightmarish season. And the sidelining of Gérald Baticle on November 22 has not changed anything. While Abdel Bouhazama, director of the training center, succeeded him, in the hope of recovery, the club can not get its head above water. Since the change of coach, after the 15th day, the team remains stuck at 8 points and continues to sink into the crisis..
12 consecutive defeats in the league
The last defeat (4-0 in Brest) took the series to 12 consecutive defeats, thus equaling Dijon’s sad record in Ligue 1 in 2021. At the end of the 2020-2021 season, Dijon (21 points, 4 wins and 25 defeats) was relegated to Ligue 2. A fate that the Angevins are less and less likely to be able to avoid. Especially with four descents.
The record for the fewest number of points held by Lens may have been beaten
But the humiliation can be even worse for Capelle and his teammates. The minimum points record in a championship with a 3-point victory is 17. It was Lens, in the 88/89 season serving as a test). Today, he reaches out to the SCO.
If the club does not rectify the situation, it risks dangerously breaking this sad record. But that’s not all. The whites and blacks can also tackle the defeat record, held by AS Troyes Sainte-Savine, beaten 28 times during the 1960-1961 season. With 16 defeats already, and with 18 games left to play, Angers can become the worst team in Ligue 1 history.
