Nice vs Angers Ligue 1 Match Predictions
Contents
Nice hosts Angers in a match that could determine their top three prospects. The hosts are currently 3rd on the table but can they get all points in this match? Our best picks for this Ligue 1 match are as follows:
Nice to win 3/4 (1.75)
We expect Nice to get back to winning matches in this game after losing their last two Ligue 1 games. The hosts defeated Marseille 4-1 in France Cup before losing 2-0 to Lyon last weekend. Historically, Nice has been the dominant since in this matchup, winning four and drawing one of their last five meetings. On the flip-side, the visitors have lost their last three Ligue 1 matches. In the three losses, Angers leaked seven goals and scored only two goals in one game.
BTTS: No @ 19/20 (1.95)
Both teams hope they can secure their first Ligue 1 win in February even as the month nears the end. However, given the defensive challenges that Angers is currently facing, head coach, Gerald Baticle, would rather focus on having a point away from home that play offensively. Our second pick backs the hosts to score and win this match with a clean sheet. After losing at home on 6th February, the hosts bagged a win in France Cup against Marseille. Bagging the second home victory this month is a highly probable outcome on matchday.

Nice vs Angers Preview, Team Lineups and News
Nice head coach, Christophe Galtier, and his matchday counterpart, Gerald Baticle, have met once. The hosting manager won the game 2-1 away from home. Will Galtier get the better of Baticle for the second time in this second leg of Ligue 1?
These teams have drawn five times in the last 13 encounters. Of those meetings, Nice got six wins, losing only twice to Angers.
This fixture will be a vital test for Nice, especially in the quest for top three places in Ligue 1. The hosts are currently 3rd while Angers is 13th. Lack of victory in the last two games for both teams is a vital focus heading into this game.
However, looking at how Nice has performed at home, they will need to work extra hard for a desired result in this match. Angers has done pretty well away from home but getting seven draws in 12 trips so far could complicate things for head coach, Baticle, especially against a team like Nice that boasts a better record against them in the last five meetings.
Nice predicted lineup: Benitez, Daniliuc, Tadibo, Dante, Bard, Thuram, Scheneirdelin, Lemina, Kluivert, Delort and Gouri.
Angers predicted lineup: Petkovic, Mendy, Traore, Thomas, Cabot, Ounahi, Bentaleb, Fulgini, Doumbia, Boufal and Bahoken.
