On Sunday, 2nd April, Angers will host Nice in Ligue 1 at the Stade Raymond Kopa. Angers are looking increasingly likely to be demoted, having recently lost to Ajaccio. Nice on the other hand still has a chance to qualify for Europe, but they are six points behind the team occupying the last position for European football.
Given Angers poor form, it's tough to see the home team get anything from this fixture. A win for Nice is therefore expected.

It looks all set for Angers to return to Ligue 2 as the home side return from the international break 14 points away from safety with only 10 rounds of matches to play this season. Angers recorded 2 wins this season and both wins came in September 2022. This has positioned Angers as one of the worst teams in Ligue 1 this season.
Angers has lost 18 of their previous 20 games played in Ligue 1 but with 22 losses in 28 league games played so far this season. The poor form has already resulted in 2 coaches losing their jobs.

Nice (DWDDD)
Nice is on a 13-game unbeaten streak in all competitions and has lost just 1 of the last 19 games played. Nice are six points outside the European places in the French top division after avoiding loss in each of their last 11 league games, winning six and drawing five.
Nice, in addition to being one of the most in-form sides in Ligue 1, has the division's second-best defensive record, having allowed 25 goals in 28 games this season, with six clean sheets coming in their previous ten games.
Nice parted ways with Lucien Favre when Rennes won against them in January. Digard took charge and performed admirably. Digard has turned Nice into one of the most feared sides in French football, making Angers' job even more difficult this weekend.
