Angers v Nice preview: Ligue 1 matchday 10

The occasion and the table

Angers host Nice on matchday 10 of Ligue 1, with kick-off on 8 November 2026 at 16:15. The two clubs come into the match in contrasting positions in the table.

Angers are 15th with 8 points from 9 matches. Their record reads 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats, with 9 goals scored and 17 conceded. Nice sit 8th with 14 points from 9 matches, built on 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats, having scored 13 and conceded 12.

Recent form and home/away records

Angers' most recent outing ended in a 0-2 defeat away to Lyon. Before that they drew 0-0 at home to Lorient. Prior to that they lost 2-5 at home to Marseille, and before that they were beaten 1-5 away to Brest. The earliest of their last five matches was a 2-0 home win over Troyes. That adds up to 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats across those five matches, and Angers conceded five goals in each of the losses to Marseille and Brest.

Nice arrive in far better form. Their latest match was a 5-2 home win over Rennes. Before that they won 2-1 away to Brest, and prior to that they lost 1-2 away to Lyon. Earlier still came two 2-1 home wins, against Strasbourg and, before that, Lille. That is 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat in their last five matches.

The venue records offer a different angle. Angers have played 5 Ligue 1 matches at home this season, winning 1, drawing 1 and losing 3, with 5 goals scored and 9 conceded. Nice, for all their recent momentum, have found life on the road harder: in 4 Ligue 1 away matches this season they have 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats, scoring 3 and conceding 7.

Previous meetings

The two most recent meetings between the clubs produced one win apiece. On 14 March 2026, Nice won 2-0 against Angers, with Angers the home side. Before that, on 7 December 2025, Angers won 1-0 away to Nice.

Players to watch

Sepe Elye Wahi is Nice's top scorer in Ligue 1 this season with 6 goals, almost half of his side's league total of 13. His contribution will be central to the visitors' attacking threat.

For Angers, Amine El Ouazzani leads the way with 2 Ligue 1 goals this season. With Angers having scored 9 league goals in total, the home side will be looking for more players to share the scoring load alongside him.

How the two sides tend to play

The numbers point to a Nice side that rarely fails to find the net. They have scored in all of their last 5 matches, but they have not kept a clean sheet in any of them, and both teams scored in each of those five games. That suggests open matches at both ends whenever Nice are involved.

Angers present a more mixed picture. In their last 5 matches they scored in 3, kept a clean sheet in 2 and saw both teams score in 2. Their defensive record across the season, with 17 goals conceded in 9 league matches, is the weakest aspect of their numbers, although the goalless draw with Lorient and the win over Troyes show they can shut games down.

Nice's away figures, with only 3 goals scored in 4 matches on the road, sit in contrast to their overall form, which gives Angers some encouragement on home soil.
