The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Angers SCO are in the 8th position while the guesting Nantes worry at 18th.
- Angers SCO haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Angers SCO and Nantes.
Angers SCO form and stats
Angers SCO have played 11 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-1-5 (wins-draws-losses).
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 215 minutes without scoring a league goal. L. Diony was the last player to find the net.
Angers's previous game was a Coupe de France match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Rennes (placed 5th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Angers SCO lost 0-3 at Nice's place.
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 eleven games. Angers has won four of these, drawn one and lost six.
The Angers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Nantes form and stats
Nantes have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 1-4-7 (12 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Nantes, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Lorient game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Home advantage was not enough for Nantes in their previous game, as they lost their Coupe de France-match, hosting Lens, 2-4. A loss against Lille was the result prior to that, in a Ligue 1 home game.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Lens was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 18 similar matches played by Nantes in our archives, and the results are: one win for Nantes, five draws and twelve defeats.
The attacking power of Nantes when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 12 league matches away. Nantes's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Nantes - Angers SCO 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Angers wins - draws - Nantes wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
