Football Results

In the first match of the 33rd round of French Ligue 1 we have the 14th Angers and 7th Nice, which currently has 10 points advantage. This only tells us that the team from the Corsican coast is a mild favourite in this unpleasant hosting, especially since they are still competing for positions in Europe, while on the other hand the team of Angers is seven points away from the relegation zone. We should also add that their autumnal duel ended with a result 2-2

Angers

Last year both teams celebrated as guests, so Angers has to be very careful on that side before this match, despite the fact that they have lately raised their form considerably. Namely, coach Moulin’s players were only defeated in the six championship duels as guests against the leading PSG, while they made three more wins and two draws, which in fact led them in the situation that they have even seven points than the 18th Troyes.

However, last weekend they played only 1-1 against Strasbourg, so they did not benefited from this three-week break at all, while they are now welcoming the team that is the most serious contender for European competitions. But coach Moulin has announced that he will not change anything compared to the previous few matches, especially because defender Andreu, midfielder Capelle and striker Puyo are questionable due to the slightest injuries.

Probable lineups SCO Angers: Butelle – Manceau, Traore, Thomas, Bamba – Santamaria – Fulgini, Mangani, Oniangue, Tait – Toko Ekambi

Nice

As for the guests from Côte d'Azur, they have experienced their only defeat in the last six championship matches at home by PSG, while they in the remaining five games also made three wins and two draws. In this way, they remain in the struggle for positions in Europe, because at this point they only have a point less than the fifth Rennes, with whom they met last weekend and played 1-1 at home.

However, coach Favre is happy that they managed to stay undefeated in this match, as they kept the connection for Rennes, while we should also add that three more teams are also fighting for the fifth position, so every new blunder would cost them dearly. Therefore, we should certainly expect that they will be set a little more offensive in this duel with Angers, with the aim to get to all three points, especially since they only cannot count on the injured defender Jallet.

Probable lineups OGC Nice: Benitez – Souquet, Marlon, Dante, Le Marchand – Cyprien, Seri, Lees-Melou – Saint-Maximin, Balotelli, Plea

Verdict:

Although both teams are in good shape for the first time in the 33rd round, we have decided to give the smallest advantage to the guests from Nice, because they are currently only one point away from the positions that lead to Europe.
