The bragging rights belong to Nice at this point, with the 3rd spot in the Ligue 1 table and hosting Angers SCO (who are placed 13th).

Insights:
  • Nice have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Angers SCO have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both participants have had time to rest since their last effort on the pitch. Let's hope for an in-your-face game!

Nice form and stats

Nice have collected 18 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 5-3-4.

No payout for Nice in their previous match, an away game at Olympique Lyonnais that ended in defeat 0-2.

Angers SCO form and stats

2-7-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Angers SCO in their Ligue 1 matches away. Three has not been a lucky number for Angers as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Troyes match.

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 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Raymond Kopa. Midfield player Bentaleb was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.85/10. Bentaleb dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 71 successful passes (of 78 total).

Prior to that match, the Angers SCO manager Baticle faced defeat when travelling to Olympique Marseille and losing 2-5.

Angers SCO find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Angers have conceded 20 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
