Angers vs Nice Prediction

Angers host Nice on 8 November 2026 at 19:15 in Ligue 1's 10th round. The hosts sit 15th with eight points after nine matches, while Nice occupy eighth with 14 points. Angers have won two, drawn two, and lost five. Nice have four wins, two draws, and three defeats. The gap in form is stark: Angers conceded five goals to Marseille and five to Brest in recent weeks, while Nice thrashed Rennes 5-2 in their last outing and have won four of their last five league matches.

Form and H2H

Angers average 1.19 goals for and 1.90 against over their last ten matches at home. Nice average 1.31 goals for and 1.20 against on the road. In head-to-head meetings, Nice hold a slight edge. They won 2-0 away in March 2026 and 4-1 away in September 2024. Angers won 1-0 on the road in December 2025 and 3-0 at home in February 2019. The most recent four meetings produced 2-2, 1-1, 0-0, and 2-2 draws across 2017 and 2018.

Nice's recent trajectory is the decisive factor. After a slow start, Olivier Pantaloni's side have built momentum and now resemble genuine contenders for the top half. Elye Wahi scored a hat-trick against Rennes and has become one of the season's standout forwards. Angers, by contrast, remain fragile defensively and lack consistency. Their goal difference of 9-16 reflects a team struggling to compete at this level.

Best bet

Nice to win. The visitors arrive with superior form, attacking threat, and psychological advantage. Angers' defensive vulnerabilities have not improved, and against an opponent now capable of beating teams from the upper half of the table, mistakes will be punished. Nice's squad depth allows them to field a competitive eleven despite injuries to Ali Abdi, Antoine Mendy, Laurent Abergel, Axel Witsel, and Moïse Bombito. Angers face their own injury concerns with Amin El Ouazzani and Oumar Pona unavailable or doubtful, further limiting their options.
