Angers vs Nice preview and prediction
Angers host Nice at the Stade Raymond-Kopa on 8 November 2026, kick-off 16:15, in Ligue 1 Matchweek 10. The ground holds 19000. Nice come in eighth with 14 points, while Angers sit fifteenth with 8. The bookmakers make the visitors the clear favourites, and we agree with that, though how Nice have been winning matters as much as the fact that they win.
The key facts
- Likely result: Angers 1–1 Nice, roughly 3 goals in total.
- Table: Angers 15th (8 points), Nice 8th (14 points).

Who arrives in better form?
Angers have 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats from 9 matches in this competition, with 9 goals scored and 17 conceded. At home it is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, 5 goals for and 9 against. Their last five matches in all competitions brought 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats, with 5 goals scored and 12 conceded. The latest was a 2-0 defeat at Lyon on 1 November, and the run also includes a 5-1 defeat at Brest and a 5-2 home defeat to Marseille. Only one of those five ended in victory, the 2-0 win over Troyes on 19 September.
Nice have 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats in this competition, with 13 goals for and 12 against. Their away record here is the weak spot: 1 win, no draws and 3 defeats, 3 goals scored and 7 conceded. Their recent form in all competitions is far better. Nice have won 4 of their last 5 and lost only 1, scoring 12 and conceding 7, including a 5-2 win over Rennes on 30 October. The table and the season figures cover this competition only, so the last five are the better guide to current shape. We would take Nice's last five over Angers' every time.

Home and away
Will goals come easily in this one?
Angers have not been reliable at either end. Their last five produced more than 2.5 goals in only 2 matches, and both teams scored in 2. Angers kept a clean sheet in 2 of those five, and failed to score in 2 more. Nice are the opposite in attack: both teams scored in all 5 of their last five, and more than 2.5 goals came in 5 of them. Nice have also let in a goal in every one of those games, so their defence is not the reason we would back a low total.
The market expects about three goals in total, Nice around 2 and Angers around 1. The most likely exact scores are 1-1 at 11.5%, 0-1 at 9.5% and 1-2 at 9.4%. Those are the bookmakers' figures, not a record of past games, and they point to a match where Nice have the edge without suggesting a rout.
Who will win Angers vs Nice?
We work out this estimate from the odds of several bookmakers once their margin has been removed. No outcome is ever certain.
How have these two met before?
In the last 20 meetings Nice have won 10, Angers 4, and 6 have ended level. Nice have scored 29 goals to Angers' 18. The most recent meeting, on 14 March 2026, was a 0-2 win for Nice at Angers. Before that, Nice lost 0-1 to Angers on 7 December 2025 and beat them 2-1 on 20 April 2025. Angers have won at Nice, but the pattern across these meetings is clearly in Nice's favour, and it lines up with what the recent form suggests.
Is anyone missing for either side?
No absences have been reported for either Angers or Nice, so we are working from the full squads on paper. That removes one of the usual reasons to hesitate on a favourite, and we are not looking for a team news angle in this match.

Where we put our money: Nice to win by a goal
Nice -0.25 (Asian handicap) at odds 1.84 (chance 54%). The line means half the stake goes on Nice -0.5 and half on Nice +0. At -0.5 Nice must win by 1 or more. At +0 a Nice win wins, a draw returns the stake and a defeat loses. On the likeliest scores, 0-1, 1-2 and 0-2 win the bet, 1-1 loses half the stake and returns the other half, and 1-0 and 2-1 lose it.
We like it for four reasons. Nice have won 4 of their last 5, and lost only 1 of them, while Angers have won only 1 of their last 5. Nice sit eighth with 14 points, Angers fifteenth with 8. Nice have won 10 of the last 20 meetings against Angers' 4. The market gives Nice 54% at the best odds of 1.84. The match-result market agrees on the direction: Nice are 46% at 2.12, against Angers at 27% (3.64) and a draw at 26% (3.84). We would not back Nice to win by a landslide, and this line does not ask for one.

Form in the competition
What else is worth a look at these prices?
- Under 3.5 goals at odds 1.47 (chance 66%). Angers produced more than 2.5 goals in only 2 of their last 5 matches and kept a clean sheet in 2 of them, which gives this total some support. The bet wins on all six of the likeliest scores in the market list, including 1-1, 0-1, 1-2 and 2-1. We think it is the most solid second option on the page.
- Draw or Nice (X2) at odds 1.35 (chance 73%). This is the cautious route if you want Nice's form without needing them to win by a goal. It loses only if Angers win.
- Over 1.5 goals at odds 1.25 (chance 77%). Short, but it does not need much. Nice have scored in every recent game, and the market expects about three goals in total.
Our last word before kick-off
Nice look the better side on form, in the table and in the head-to-head, and their recent wins have often come by a single goal, which is exactly what our main tip needs. A 1-1 draw is always possible, so keep your stake modest. We would take the Nice -0.25 line at 1.84 and feel comfortable with it.
