Nantes vs Angers Prediction

Nantes Form

A draw was the best Nantes could muster in their previous three games. They claimed a 0-0 draw against Toulouse, before getting trounced 0-3 against Montpellier. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Lille ran out 2-1 winners. Nantes did not win any of their last six Ligue 1 matches at the Stade de la Beaujoire. They came through these matches with a record of two draws and three defeats, in which they conceded 14 and scored six goals.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Nantes, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Angers Form

In their past three matches, Angers lost 3-1 against Marseille, drew 2-2 with Reims and won 2-1 against Troyes. Angers came through their last six away games in the Ligue 1 without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew one and lost five in which, they were outscored by 19 goals to six.

Many people had Angers down as candidates for the drop before the season, but rescue is still within reach, as the season nears its end.

Both Nantes and visitors Angers seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.

Nantes won 11 points from their last nine encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won two, scored nine and let in nine goals. Angers won one of their previous nine outings against teams from the bottom six and claimed six points. They scored ten and conceded 15 goals. Nantes are looking at a record of six wins, 15 draws and 16 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. Angers put four wins, six draws and 27 defeats on the board in the Ligue 1.
