Angers vs Nice Lineups, Prediction, Betting Picks & Odds

Angers vs Nice Game Preview

Our Angers vs Nice prediction starts with a simple contrast: a home side sliding toward trouble against a Nice team that arrives at Stade Raymond Kopa with real momentum.

Angers sit 15th in the Ligue 1 standings, hovering just above the relegation zone on goal difference, and their attack has not been reliable enough to dig them out.

Nice sit eighth, and the attacking trio of Elye Wahi, Mohammed Amoura and Sofiane Diop gives them a cutting edge that Angers simply cannot match right now.

History backs the visitors, too. Nice are undefeated in their last 6 away games against Angers in all competitions, so this trip holds few fears for them.

Angers vs Nice Recent Results

Angers were beaten at Lyon without scoring last time out, extending a winless league run to four games. Their setup leans on width and crosses through Amine Sbaï and Yassin Belkhdim, but the finishing has let them down badly. That is why they have won just 2 of their last 10 games against all opponents.

Nice have won four of their last five league games. The latest was a home rout of Rennes, with Elye Wahi grabbing a hat-trick, and Jonathan Clauss keeps supplying service from the right. This is a confident, possession-minded group with a striker in the best form of anyone on the field.

Angers vs Nice Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our prediction is a Nice win. Scanning the Angers vs Nice betting odds, +110 (Kalshi) on the Nice moneyline is a fair price. The projection rates the visitors at almost 52% to get the win, and that feels right given the gap in attacking quality and momentum. Angers struggle defending through balls and skillful players, which plays straight into the hands of Wahi and Amoura. The hosts can land a blow, but Nice have far more ways to hurt them.

Best Picks

Over 2.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects a high-scoring game. This sits in the Total Goals Over/Under market, and it is the angle the numbers keep flagging. The projection lands at 3.19 total goals for this one. Nice's games have been wide open, too, with each of their last five in Ligue 1 clearing this line.

Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. The model expects both sides to find the net. This one lives in the Both Teams To Score market, and it pairs neatly with the goals pick. The projection puts both sides scoring at 61.6%. Nice are vulnerable to through balls, and Angers have little answer for skillful attackers, so a clean sheet at either end looks hard to come by.

Angers vs Nice Same Game Parlay

Our Angers vs Nice same game parlay picks lean on Elye Wahi for a card and a goal, add a Jim Allevinah shot on target and back Nice to score twice.

Elye Wahi To Be Shown A Card: the referee has gone to his pocket for Wahi in every one of his three most recent Ligue 1 games. He plays right on the edge.

Elye Wahi Anytime Goalscorer: the striker has found the net in all three of his latest league outings. Angers' problems defending through balls suit his runs in behind perfectly.

Jim Allevinah Over 0.5 in the Player Shots On Target market: Allevinah has tested the goalkeeper in five of the previous seven Ligue 1 games he has played. One effort on goal cashes this leg.

Nice Over 1.5 in the Total Away Goals market: this leg has hit in 4 of Nice's last 5 games. The projection has the visitors scoring around 1.9 goals here.

Angers vs Nice Talking Points

Watch the Nice right flank. The visitors love attacking down the right, and Jonathan Clauss has a goal or an assist to show for five of his seven most recent Ligue 1 outings against Angers. That puts Joseph Kalulu in for a long afternoon at left wing-back, caught between helping the Angers attack and tracking Clauss. The other storyline is in midfield. Axel Witsel is a doubt, and if he cannot start, Olivier Pantaloni, who took over Nice ahead of this season after leaving Lorient, loses an experienced partner for Hicham Boudaoui in the middle of the field.
