Saturday evening, Angers welcomes Nice on the occasion of a meeting of the 20th day of Ligue 1. The two teams are in the peloton of this championship and will want to impose themselves to try to get closer to the podium.
Angers was rather convincing during the first part of the season. Very successful this summer, the SCO reduced the pace a little in the fall. However, Stéphane Moulin’s men are still 8th in the classification and are only 3 lengths behind on the Ligue 1 podium. Defeated 3 times in December by Nice (3-1), Marseille (0-2) and Rennes (2-1), the Angevins then held Monaco in check (0-0) then won against Nantes (1-2). Last week, they won their duel with Dieppe in the Coupe de France (1-3).
For its part, Nice was rather disappointing during the first half of the season. The Aiglons did not complete the first part of the season in 10th place in the classification with one unit less than the SCO. Recently, Patrick Vieira’s men have won 3 of their last 4 meetings in all competitions. Victorious of Metz (3-1), they then conceded a draw at Brest (0-0) before squirming Toulouse (3-0). Last week, they defeated Fréjus (2-0) in the Coupe de France.
The staff for Angers vs Nice
For Angers, the important Cissé, Pereira-Lage, Ninga and Kanga are all on the drawing board. With 5 goals, the former Guingampais Alioui is the top scorer of this Angevin formation.
Nice is deprived of its defenders Hérelle, Sarr, Pelmard and Atal, important circles Lusumba and Claude-Maurice, and striker Ganago. The defender replacing Lloris is also on the flank.
The probable compositions for Angers vs Nice:
Angers: Petkovic – Pellenard, Thomas, Pavlovic, Manceau – Santamaria, Mangani, Fulgini, Capelle – Bobichon, Bahoken.
Nice: Benitez – Durmisi, Burner, Dante, N’Socki – Cyprien, Mizane, Lees-Melou – Ounas, Dolberg, Boudaoui.
Nice won the first leg (3-1).
Nice has not won outside since August.
Despite a superior team on paper, Nice could be kept in check by an eye-catching Angevin team who are often capable of doing good things at home.
