Head-to-head statistics Angers - Nantes
Angers Team Overview
⚫ Angers are experiencing a renaissance, if you will, during this brief stretch of the championship. At the start of the season, many experts pegged this team as a relegation candidate from the top division, but now they have comfortably settled into a mid-table position in Ligue 1. Positive results started coming in mid-October and have continued ever since.
⚪ In their last four matches, Alexandre Dujeux's squad has picked up nine points, defeating Auxerre (2-0), Toulouse (1-0), and Nice (1-0). While these opponents weren't the strongest, securing three clean-sheet victories is impressive even for the league leaders, let alone a team sitting in 11th place. The only loss in this stretch came against Lens (1-2), who currently top the Ligue 1 table.
Match Results: Angers
Nantes Team Overview
🟡 Nantes last tasted victory in mid-October, and since then their performance has plateaued with only draws and losses. Over the past six rounds, the "Canaries" have managed to secure just two points, which explains why they currently sit second from the bottom in the standings. They are four points adrift from the safety of 15th place.
🟢 Luis Castro's side suffered defeats in their last two outings against Lyon (0-3) and Lens (1-2). These opponents were indeed formidable, leaving little room for success. But why couldn't they secure wins against Lorient, Le Havre, or Metz, who are of similar strength? Ultimately, even against evenly matched teams, Nantes are not yet ready to claim victory.

Latest news
Angers
💼 On Tuesday morning, December 9, Angers football club hosted a breakfast with their partners in the protocol hall of the Stade Raymond Kopa. This event provided an opportunity to discuss the current season and the commercial offers available from the club. There was also a friendly exchange of views between various partners and the sales team. Angers' management expressed gratitude to the partners who attended this morning and is already looking forward to meeting them again this Friday during the derby against Nantes!
❌ Emmanuel Biumla's appearance in the upcoming match against Nantes is in doubt. The defender has been recovering from a muscle strain for two months. The 20-year-old sustained the injury during the game against Strasbourg in the seventh round and hasn't featured since. According to local media, Emmanuel Biumla has recovered and is ready to bolster Angers.
Nantes
❌ Bacheraba Guirassy might miss the upcoming match due to an injury he sustained during a play in the last round against Lens. Nantes still have Francis Coquelin (hamstring injury) and Louis Leroux (hip injury) sidelined, and they will definitely be unable to assist their teammates in the upcoming game.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The upcoming match will be officiated by Stéphanie Frappart. Over her last 100 games, she averages 3.72 yellow cards per match with 24 fouls. In Ligue 1, across 15 matches, Angers average 1.5 yellow cards per game, while Nantes average 1.7. Both teams have received relatively few bookings this season, making a bet on total yellow cards under 5.5 a reasonable option.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Angers' average individual total in Ligue 1 stands at 0.9 goals per match, identical to Nantes' statistic of 0.9. It's clear both teams struggle significantly in creating and converting chances, often leaving the pitch without scoring. Given this scenario, the bet on both teams to score - no seems particularly insightful.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In their 15 Ligue 1 matches, Angers have averaged 3.5 corners per game, while Nantes have averaged 3.1 over the same period. Both teams rarely earn set-pieces from the corner flag and their stats are below the league average, suggesting a bet on total corners under 9.5 is well-founded.
Editorial Prediction
Nantes' current form raises many questions about their ability to compete even with mid-table teams in the league. Angers, on the other hand, are experiencing the opposite-riding a wave of success with multiple clean-sheet victories. We believe that on their home turf, the "black and whites" will edge out Nantes with a narrow 1-0 win. Head-to-head encounters between these sides have consistently been low-scoring affairs, and both teams exhibit rather modest scoring rates in the league, making a bet on under 2.5 goals a well-founded choice here.
