Angers SCO form and stats
4-1-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Angers SCO so far this season. Angers has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Moulin and the players.
The fans are hoping that Angers will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Ligue 1 game against Bordeaux (placed 7th). Before that game, the home loss against Paris Saint Germain with the scoreline 0-1.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Angers's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn one and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Angers as they are travelling to their away game against Reims in the Ligue 1. That match is three days after this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Angers here at Stade Raymond Kopa in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 10 games). On the other hand, Angers have conceded 13 goals.
Nîmes form and stats
As the visiting team in Ligue 1 matches, Nîmes, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Ligue 1, have produced an overall stat of 3-2-5 so far.
It's the second away game in a row for Nîmes, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Olympique Marseille (placed 6th) in the Ligue 1 last time out. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Lille.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Nîmes when being an outsider away as they are today, we find eight matches with the visitors losing six times, drawing one and winning one game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nîmes manager J. Arpinon as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Paris Saint Germain.
The attacking power of Nîmes when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Nîmes have conceded 18 goals in these games.
