Head-to-head statistics Angers - Nice
Angers Team Overview
⚫ Angers recently endured a three-match losing streak without scoring, which was only snapped in the last round. On average, the team scores less than a goal per game and has a goal difference of -7 for the season. Such shortcomings have prevented Angers from breaking into the top half of the league table, and they currently sit in 11th place.
⚪ The losing streak ended with a victory over Nantes (1-0), a club currently in the relegation zone. The match was evenly contested, but a solitary strike from Amine Salama secured the win for Angers. Overall, Alexandre Dujeux's side has been struggling with low productivity, managing only 23 goals in the league so far.
Match Results: Angers
Nice Team Overview
⚫ At the start of the season, Nice were considered potential contenders for a spot in European competition, but now the team is battling to stay in the top division. A change in head coach hasn't turned their fortunes around-Claude Puel's side have failed to win in Ligue 1 for six consecutive matches. The only bright spot in this stretch is their progress to the semifinals of the Coupe de France.
🔴 In their last two league outings, Nice suffered goalless defeats: away against Paris FC (0-1) and at home to Rennes (0-4). The heavy loss in front of their home fans was particularly telling. While everyone celebrated the team's advance to the cup semifinals, it overshadowed the real issues within the squad, which Rennes highlighted by exposing the frailties across all areas of Nice's lineup.

Latest news
Angers
❌ Angers face some minor setbacks ahead of their upcoming match against Nice, but only the coaching staff can truly assess their significance. Moroccan midfielder Yassine Belhadim will be absent due to suspension, having accumulated too many yellow cards. Forward Prosper Peter's participation is uncertain as he's been dealing with a muscle injury and has spent the past week on the sidelines, leaving his full recovery in question.
Nice
❌ Nice have a lengthy injury list, but most of these players have been sidelined for a while, and the coaching staff isn't particularly counting on them: Isak Jansson, Everton Pereira, Mohamed Abdel Monem, Moise Bombito. There are also players whose participation is doubtful: Mohamed-Ali Cho, who featured in the last five matches but suffered a leg injury, and Kodjo Oppong, a key player who took a painful knock in the last game.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
The upcoming match will be officiated by François Letexier. Over a stretch of 100 matches, he averages 3.82 yellow cards per game with 22 fouls. In Ligue 1, across 25 matches, Angers average 1.6 yellow cards per game, while Nice average 2.2. Opponents haven't been receiving many warnings this season, and François Letexier isn't quick to hand them out either. Therefore, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Angers' individual total in the French championship averages 0.9 goals per match, while Nice slightly edge them with 1.2. It's clear both teams struggle to capitalize on their chances in front of goal. Considering this data, we recommend betting on match total under 2.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In the French championship, Angers average 3.5 corners per game over 25 matches, while Nice boast a higher average of 5.1 during the same period. Claude Puel's side frequently earns more corner kicks than their opponents, showing stats above the tournament average, so we suggest placing a bet on Nice to win the corner count.
Editor's Prediction
The battle for points in this match is set to be intense, but that doesn't promise a high-scoring affair as both teams are struggling offensively. Angers have managed just one goal in their last four outings, while Nice have failed to score in their previous two league matches. Given these stats, we suggest betting on under 2.5 total goals. The teams are evenly matched at the moment, so we're expecting a draw (1-1)!
