Angers vs Nantes Prediction & Betting Tips (22 September)

Nantes bring some phenomenal form into this fixture, having secured 13 victories in their last 18 Ligue 1 matches, including five in a row recently. The picture has been a very different one as far as Angers are concerned of late, with a run of seven defeats in nine games doing little to boost their survival chances in what threatens to be a hard-fought battle.

Given their status as one of the powerhouses of the Ligue 1, it is surprising to learn that Angers are currently on a run of 32 consecutive top-flight home fixtures in which under 3.5 goals have been netted. As for Nantes, 19 of their last 20 away matches at this level have followed the same pattern, so it would come as a shock to see four goals or more here.

Over the course of their last 19 Ligue 1 matches, Nantes have kept an impressive tally of 14 clean sheets, so finding a way through against Nantes can prove difficult. Given that just three of the most recent 13 top-flight fixtures involving Angers have served up goals at both ends of the pitch, it is hard to see much of a deviation from the script.
