The preseason is almost coming to an end for Arsenal and a lot of English teams. The end is usually signaled by Arsenal when they participate in the Emirates cup just before the new season starts. The cup had started in not so much of a favorable light as they lost to Lyon. However, they now get to face another team before their season ends. That team is Angers and the match is billed to kick off on Wednesday. With both teams looking forward to the game, it would be interesting to see how they both handle playing against each other just before the season kicks off.

Arsenal

The match is going to be played at the Stade Jean-Bouin and is billed to be a cracker. One of the reasons many fans would seek to watch this game is because of the many new signings which Arsenal are making or have made. One of the most famous ones right now would no doubt the $80 million Nicolas Pepe who is said to be coming into from Lille and who has already completed his medicals. Dan Ceballos who has been billed as the new Santi is also a fans' favorites and you cannot doubt that they would be there to watch him play once again. With Arsenal seemingly doing the business off the pitch, the mood at the Emirates is slowly lifting and this can end well for Arsenal.

Angers

Angers have had a terrible form. They are not the best of teams in the French league. However, they should provide Arsenal with a stern test on Wednesday as both teams are still preparing for the season. As Arsenal has done for most of their season, you can expect the more experienced players to mix with the young players during this match. That fact would give Angers the boost they would need ahead of this game as their opponents would surely not be at their full strength. The games are coming thick and fast. Momentum is, therefore, a wonderful way of knowing how this game would end up at the end.

Form

Momentum is not with Angers at the moment. Two losses and three draws are what characterizes their last six games which span to their last season. This preseason, they have failed to win even a single game and the match against Arsenal look to be no different in that term. Momentum is low and a win here would help to push it back up in anticipation of the new season in France.

For Arsenal, their last six games have been far from perfect. However, one loss is what they have suffered in these matches. The other games have seen them win thrice and draw twice. A great form at the moment and they would want to win again. If you want to get to the champions league next season, the winning mentality is necessary. That is what Arsenal would need to cultivate starting with this game.
