Angers vs Nantes Prediction and Betting Tips | September 22nd 2024

Angers face off with Nantes in a Ligue 1 match at the Stade Raymond Kopa this Sunday. These teams have seen contrasting fortunes in their league campaign thus far. Angers have claimed a solitary point and are currently sitting in 17th place in the table. Nantes, meanwhile, are flying high in fourth.

So can Nantes continue their good form here or will the home side pull off the win and claim some valuable points?

Angers vs Nantes Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Recent games between Angers and Nantes at the Stade Raymond Kopa have absolutely favored the away side. Nantes have won on three of their last four trips there - including one penalty shoot-out - and have not lost to Angers there since 2020.
Angers' form has been terrible thus far into the campaign, as they lost their first three games before claiming their first point last weekend against Strasbourg. More worryingly, they have scored only two goals while conceding eight.
After a strong start to the season that saw them claim seven points from a possible nine, Nantes suffered their first defeat last weekend. They fell 1-2 to Reims at home in a slight upset.
When you take into account the appalling 2022-23 campaign that saw Angers relegated, as well as their poor start to this season, the home side have actually only won four of their last 42 Ligue 1 games.
Nantes' Moses Simon is one of Ligue 1's most in-form players right now, as he has had involvement in three goals in his last three games.

Angers vs Nantes Prediction

Nantes might've disappointed in their loss to Reims last weekend, but they will probably head into this match feeling confident of rebounding.

Angers simply haven't looked up to the task since being promoted last summer, as they have been freely conceding goals while also struggling to score them in their own right.

Despite having the home advantage here, their recent record against Nantes is a poor one, and given the away side's potential firepower, that doesn't feel likely to change here.

The prediction, then, is a clear-cut away win.

Prediction: Angers 0-2 Nantes
