Angers vs Nice Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 8 November 2026
π Nice have not kept a single clean sheet in Ligue 1 since August - not even during a run of four wins in five matches. That would seem to give Angers a chance, but the hostsβ attack is struggling: they have failed to score in their last two matches and have not won in the league since 19 September. Will Angers find a way through a defence that has conceded to everyone this season?
Head-to-Head
π Angers have not scored more than one goal against Nice in 12 consecutive Ligue 1 meetings, while they have conceded in nine of the last 10 meetings in Angers, with the visitors scoring at least once. These have hardly been dull encounters: the last eight meetings there have each produced at least two goals. The teams split their last two meetings. In December, Angers took three points away from the Allianz Riviera, and in March, Nice responded with a 2-0 away win.

October without defence
Angers took seven points from the opening five rounds, but StΓ©phane Gilli's side began to struggle defensively in October. Angers conceded five goals away to Brest and five at home to Marseille, taking just one point from four matches - in a goalless draw with Lorient. They now sit 15th, just one point above the relegation zone.
The attack is not helping either: Angers have scored nine goals in nine rounds, with only three of them coming in their four-match winless run. Home advantage has not helped. Angers have taken four points from five home matches - only Le Havre have fewer - and have picked up three points at home in just one of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches, against Troyes in September.

Picking up pace after a poor start
Nice have turned around a disastrous start: Olivier Pantaloniβs side had two points after four rounds, but won four of their next five matches. The most emphatic result came in their latest game, a 5-2 thrashing of Rennes. Their attack has clicked, but they have moved up with the same leaky defence they had at the start of the season.
Nice have two weaknesses. The first is their away form: they have won just one of their last nine league matches on the road, at Brest, and have taken three points from four away games this season. The second is a defence that cannot keep up with the attack. Pantaloniβs side have kept only one clean sheet in Ligue 1, back in August, and have conceded in every game since. Even Rennes, who conceded five, scored twice in reply.

Latest news
Angers
β Angers will be without Adam El Ouazzani, Pona and Bamba Diatta. The hosts may name the same starting XI as in Lyon.
Nice
β Nice will be without Moise Bombito, Laurent Abergel and Antoine Mendy. Axel Witsel is a doubt: the midfielder was left out of the squad against Rennes due to slight discomfort, as the club chose not to take any risks.
Predicted Lineups
π Angersβ predicted starting XI: Lopes - Raolisoa, Arcus, Camara, Lefort, Kalulu - Belkhdim, Belkebla, van den Boomen, Sbai - Peter.
π Niceβs predicted starting XI: Diouf - Clauss, Abdelmonem, Ndayishimiye, Mandza, Nkounkou - Boudaoui, Coulibaly - Diop, Wahi, Amoura.
Total Goals Prediction
There have been fewer than four goals in 10 of the teams' last 11 head-to-head matches in Ligue 1. Nice have not scored more than two goals in any of their last 15 away matches, while the total has not exceeded three goals in 14 of those 15 trips. It is a similar story for Angers at home: only one of their last 13 Ligue 1 home matches has featured more than three goals - the heavy defeat to Marseille. We do not expect four goals in this match. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5 at 1.45*.
Corners Prediction
More than eight corners were taken in 7 of the last 8 head-to-head matches at Angersβ ground. Nice have also been involved in such games away from home elsewhere: 6 of their last 7 Ligue 1 away matches have seen more than eight corners. The visitors have contributed their share themselves: Nice took more than three corners in 9 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings and in five consecutive away league matches. We expect the corner count to reach nine. The bet is Total Corners - Over 8.5 at 1.45*.
Yellow Cards Prediction
Nice have been the more physical side in this pairing: their players have received 24 yellow cards in their last 10 matches, compared with 14 for Angers. The latest round confirmed this: the referee showed seven yellow cards in Niceβs match against Rennes, four of them to Nice. We expect at least three yellow cards. The bet is Total Yellow Cards - Over 2.5 at 1.32*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.
π Editor's Pick
Nice have gone eight consecutive Ligue 1 matches without a clean sheet. Both teams have scored in their last five games. Angers have something to offer in response: even during their winless run, the hosts scored against Brest and Marseille. Nice, meanwhile, have scored in 10 of their last 11 away meetings with Angers. We expect both teams to score: Nice's defence will falter again, while their attack will not leave Angers without a goal. Our pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1:1.
