Struggling Nice will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Angers SCO in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It's no vacation for neither Nice nor Angers SCO as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's quite the trip for Angers SCO when visiting Nice as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.

Angers SCO form and stats
There's been little loot from Angers SCO's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Ligue 1. Angers SCO only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for Angers SCO who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Angers SCO have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Ludovic Butelle. It's been 383 since they last conceded in Ligue 1.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Nice (placed 15th) in their previous outing. The Ligue 1 match ended in a draw 1-1. Before that, Angers SCO secured a home win against Nîmes with the score 1-0.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Angers SCO in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Angers SCO, 7 draws and 4 defeats.
Angers SCO are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. The Angers SCO manager S. Moulin has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
