ANGERS, France (Interstat) — Angers U19 will host AS La Chataigneraie on Saturday in a National 3 matchup that pits two sides trending in opposite directions. Kickoff is scheduled for May 9, 2026.

Angers enters the contest riding a resounding 6-0 victory over USSA Vertou U19 on May 3, their largest win of the season. That result snapped a two-match losing streak that included a 2-0 defeat at Vendee Poire-sur-Vie Football and a 3-0 loss to Union Foot de Touraine, both in April. However, Angers has shown offensive firepower in recent weeks, scoring four goals in wins over Saint-Lo Manche U19 and Stade Brestois 29 U19 in March, and blanking Stade Poitevin U19 3-0 in April.

AS La Chataigneraie, meanwhile, has been more consistent. They defeated Vendee Fontenay Foot 2-1 on April 25, improving to 4-2-3 in their last nine matches. Their lone loss in that span came April 18 at SO Chatellerault (2-0), and they have posted three clean sheets during that stretch, including a 1-0 win at USPF Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu on April 11.

The teams met most recently on Jan. 17, when AS La Chataigneraie edged Angers U19 4-3 on the road. That result extended the visitors’ recent dominance in the series, though overall head-to-head history was not immediately available.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 win for Angers U19, predicting a bounce-back performance from the home side. Angers will rely on their attacking depth, while AS La Chataigneraie’s disciplined defense could keep the match tight.

Saturday’s fixture carries implications for the lower half of the National 3 table, with both teams seeking momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.
