Angers vs Nantes: a match without sparkle
Average Futmetrix Score: 42/100. Two floundering sides collide in a fixture stripped of genuine intrigue—a transaction rather than a spectacle.
The Setup
Angers sit 12th with 16 points, yet their form is treacherous: one win, two losses, and two draws across their last five outings. Nantes, marooned in 16th on 11 points, endure a nightmare run—four matches without victory. The balance tilts marginally toward the home side, but this encounter lacks critical stakes; neither club fights for survival or glory.
Key Battle
The real contest unfolds in defensive organisation. Hervé Koffi, Angers' goalkeeper, has emerged as an unlikely fortress with 4.2 saves per match and two clean sheets across four appearances—he'll face a blunt Nantes attack that has conceded 24 goals and struggles to finish.
Our Prediction
Angers edge a tight affair 1-0. The hosts control possession without flair, exploiting Nantes' porous defence to secure three points. A grinding victory, devoid of drama.
