Finally! The Ligue 1 opening game for these teams, whom are finally playing for points again. Will Angers SCO or Nantes get that very important first win?

Angers SCO form and stats

Last season, Angers SCO's league results were 10 wins, 11 draws and 17 losses, results that produced 14th spot in the Ligue 1. Over these 38 matches they scored 44 goals and let in 55. Performing as the home side in the last season Angers SCO produced 8-2-9 (win-draw-lost) with 23 goals and 23 conceded.

This is expected to be a close game, with Angers SCO perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Angers SCO as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Angers SCO has won 2 of these, drawn 0 and lost 5.

It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for Angers SCO, who have participated in seven training matches. Angers SCO have won 3 of these, drawn 2 and were beaten in 2 games.

Nantes form and stats

Let's have a look at how Nantes performed last season in the Ligue 1: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 10 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 55 and conceded 48 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 6 and lost 9 with 22/28 goals scored/conceded.

That defeat was their first after four consecutive league games winning points.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Nantes in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Nantes, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

It's a day of discovery for Nantes as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Nantes have played four with the results W2-D0-L2 (win-draw-lost). In these games Nantes has scored 4 goals and conceded 2 times.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the previous ten meetings involving these two squads are: four wins for Angers, four draws and two wins for Nantes. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
