Season ticket holders at Allianz Riviera haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Nice languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Angers SCO will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Nice have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
- Angers SCO have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than 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 Nice and Angers SCO.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Angers SCO, who are travelling more than 1000 kilometers to play this game.
Nice form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ligue 1 this season. Nice have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Allianz Riviera. Nice are slowly digging their own grave here at Allianz Riviera with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Nantes match.
The fans are hoping that Nice will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Ligue 1 game against Monaco (placed 4th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Saint-Étienne (0-1).
This is expected to be a close game, with Nice perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nice as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Nice has won six of these, drawn three and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Nice as they are travelling to their away game against Nîmes in the Coupe de France. That match is three days after this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Nice here at Allianz Riviera in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 11 games). Nice have conceded 22 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Angers SCO form and stats
Playing away, Angers SCO have won 5 games, drawn 3 and suffered 4 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Reims (placed 12th) in their previous outing. The Ligue 1 match ended in a draw 0-0. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Nîmes.
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 15 relevant matches. Results were three Angers SCO wins, eight draws and four defeats.
A new game in only four days for Angers SCO, the Coupe de France home match versus Rennes. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Angers have scored 17 goals in 12 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Angers rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 20 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Angers SCO - Nice 0-3 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Nice won four games, four matches ended with a draw and Angers SCO has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
