Angers - Nice
Angers seek defensive stability against high-scoring Nice
Angers face a daunting challenge as they look to arrest a difficult run of form without the services of the injured Amine El Ouazzani. The hosts welcome Nice to Stade Raymond Kopa on 8 November 2026 for this Ligue 1 matchday 10 clash, desperate to improve upon a recent sequence that saw them concede heavily against Marseille and Brest. Managerial focus will be on the expected XI, led by goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, to provide a more resilient structure than the one that failed to score in their most recent outing against Lyon.
Nice arrive in significantly sharper form, having demonstrated their attacking prowess with a convincing 5-2 victory over Rennes in their last fixture. While they suffered a narrow defeat at Lyon last month, their ability to secure wins against Brest and Lille highlights a side capable of consistency. With Jonathan Clauss and Elye Wahi expected to feature, the visitors will look to replicate their 2-0 success at this venue from March 2026.
