Season ticket holders at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Nantes languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Angers SCO will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Nantes have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Angers SCO have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Nantes form and stats
Nantes have collected 9 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 2-3-2.
No payout for Nantes in their previous match, an away game at Reims that ended in defeat 2-3. Before that, Nantes drew at home versus Dijon.
This is expected to be a close game, with Nantes perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nantes as a small favourite), we find ten games. Nantes has won four of these, drawn one and lost five.
The manager C. Gourcuff will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Olympique Lyonnais in only three days.
The Nantes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Nantes defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Angers SCO form and stats
As the visiting team in Ligue 1 matches, Angers SCO have produced an overall stat of 4-1-2 so far.
Angers aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 180 league minutes without a goal. P. Capelle was the last player to find the net.
Angers SCO might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Strasbourg proved too strong as Angers SCO slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Raymond Kopa. Before that, Angers SCO travelled to Saint-Étienne and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Angers playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were four Angers SCO wins, six draws and three defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Angers are hosting Olympique Marseille in the Ligue 1 only three days away.
The travelling fans enjoy Angers SCO's attacking play in away games, having scored 13 goals in 7 league matches away. In the opposite end, Angers have conceded 13 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Nantes wins - draws - Angers SCO wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
