Nantes vs Angers Prediction 7 March 2026
🔊 Can Angers break their losing streak in the French Championship? This Saturday, they have a chance to do so as they travel to face Nantes in a Ligue 1 clash for Matchday 25. Both clubs have shown lackluster performances recently, making points crucial for their survival. Check out our prediction for this matchup in our article.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first round of the championship, Angers triumphed over Nantes on home turf with a 4-1 victory. This match was quite uncharacteristic for these teams, as they typically engage in low-scoring encounters. Prior to this, their last six official meetings saw no more than two goals scored in regular time.
Head-to-head statistics Nantes - Angers
Nantes Team Overview
🟡 Nantes continue their fight for survival, but this season it's going to be incredibly tough for them to stay up, as the team lacks a coherent game plan. There's been no significant change within the club; even coach Ahmed Kantari was promoted from within rather than being brought in externally-he previously served as an assistant. The transfer strategy remains weak, with no impactful players signed during the winter window. With this squad, they might as well start packing their bags for Ligue 2.
🟢 In the last seven rounds of the French championship, Nantes have managed to secure just 3 points, miraculously defeating Le Havre (2-0). However, the joy from that victory was short-lived, as Ahmed Kantari's men reverted to their usual form in the next match, losing to Lille (0-1). The main issue plaguing Nantes right now is their lackluster attack, having scored only 22 goals in the league, which ranks third from the bottom.

Angers Team Overview
⚫ Midseason saw Angers experience a noticeable upswing, allowing them to climb out of the relegation zone. However, their stay in the middle of the standings might be short-lived. Recent results paint a bleak picture, with three consecutive defeats and no goals scored.
⚪ In their last six Ligue 1 outings, Alexandre Dujeux's squad managed to find the net just twice, highlighting significant issues in their attacking play. In their most recent match, Angers fell to Monaco (0-2), managing only 28% possession and registering just two shots on target. With stats like these, it's tough to expect success.

Nantes
📃 Details have emerged regarding the stoppage in last week's match between Lille and Nantes. It turns out that home fans were insulting the mother of Nantes goalkeeper Lopes during the game, chanting offensive slogans directed at her. The referee reported the situation to the match delegates and requested an announcement over the stadium's PA system. Soon after, the game resumed and the chants ceased, although no announcement was actually made.
❌ Nantes' situation with injured players is enviable for any club in the league - their injury list is empty. There are also no suspensions. The coaching staff, led by Ahmed Kantari, has the full squad at their disposal for the upcoming match against Angers.
Angers
❌ Angers have a relatively calm situation concerning injured players-there are almost none. The only absence is goalkeeper Hervé Koffi, who suffered a hand injury in the 23rd round against Lille. Koffi already missed the match against Monaco and will be unavailable for the upcoming game against Nantes.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
The upcoming match will be officiated by Willy Delajod, who on average shows 3.73 yellow cards per game over a span of 100 matches, with 25 fouls per game. In Ligue 1, over 24 matches, the yellow card stats for the teams are as follows: Nantes average 2 per game, while Angers average 1.6. Given that opponents don't frequently receive bookings this season, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Nantes' individual total in the French championship averages 0.9 goals per match, and Angers also average 0.9. The goal-scoring rate in matches involving these teams is low: the hosts average 2.6, while the visitors average 2.2. Considering this data and the results of recent head-to-head encounters, we recommend considering a bet on total match goals under 2.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In Ligue 1, Nantes average 3.2 corners per game over 24 matches, while Angers average 3.5 in the same period. Both teams rarely earn corner kicks and show statistics significantly below the league average, so we suggest betting on total corners under 8.5.
Editor's Prediction
Both teams are highly motivated, but their execution falters. With both sides struggling in attack, expect a physical battle in midfield and limited threats on goal. Given the scoring statistics, we suggest betting on a total goals under 2.5. Considering the teams' current similar level of play, we're predicting a draw - 1-1!
