Both teams’ attacking numbers strongly support a “no” in the Both Teams To Score market. Nice have scored only four times in their last six matches and look short on confidence despite their individual talent. Angers average just 0.86 goals per league match and only 0.57 away from home, with 11 of their 14 Ligue 1 fixtures finishing under 2.5 goals. Their style on the road is safety-first, built on defensive structure and risk reduction. The combination of Nice’s slump and Angers’ conservative approach makes at least one team failing to score the most logical and data-backed angle.
▾
A 1–0 Nice victory reflects both sides’ tendencies. Angers rarely score on their travels and are happy to keep games tight, while Nice, despite their crisis, still possess higher individual quality in attack. The hosts are desperate to stop their losing run, and a pragmatic, grind-it-out performance suits the current mood. One decisive moment from Moffi, Diop or Cho could settle it, with Angers lacking the firepower to respond. Given Angers’ heavy bias towards under 2.5 goals and Nice’s own struggles, a single-goal home success appears the most coherent and realistic correct-score outcome.
Nice vs Angers Predictions and Best Bets
- Nice’s Attacking Crisis in Numbers
- Nice have scored only four goals across their last six competitive matches, a stark return for a side featuring Moffi, Diop and Cho, and a clear sign of confidence problems in the final third.
- Angers’ Low-Scoring Identity
- Angers have found the net just 12 times in 14 Ligue 1 games, with only four goals in seven away fixtures, and 11 of those 14 matches have finished with under 2.5 total goals.
- Head-to-Head Dominance vs Current Mood
- Nice have won seven of the last ten meetings with Angers, including both clashes last season, yet arrive here on a six-game losing streak, generating a volatile mix of superiority complex and genuine anxiety.
Can a Wounded Nice Side Grind Out a Much-Needed Result Against Cagey Angers?
Nice are 10th with 17 points, Angers sit 12th with 16, yet the energy around the two camps could not be more different. One are sliding and furious, the other are cautious but relatively calm. Nice’s situation is raw. Six straight defeats in all competitions have turned a previously optimistic season into a full-blown crisis. Early Europa League optimism has evaporated after heavy losses to Porto and Freiburg, and the league form has followed suit, with defeats to Marseille, Metz and Lorient leaving supporters deeply frustrated. That frustration boiled over after the loss to Lorient, when angry fans confronted the team bus and even targeted Terem Moffi, Jérémie Boga and sporting director Florent Maurice. The rumour that Franck Haise is ready to resign without compensation if things do not improve tells you exactly how fragile the atmosphere is.
Angers, meanwhile, are not spectacular, but they are stable enough to feel reasonably comfortable. Their aim this season is simple: avoid being dragged into the relegation fight. With 16 points from 14 rounds and a points-per-game average that usually keeps teams safe, they are ticking that box for now. They arrive with two wins in their last three league games, including victories over Toulouse and Auxerre, and a narrow 2-1 home defeat to Lens in which they still created chances and felt a VAR decision cost them a penalty.
Head-to-Head History and Tactical Undercurrents
There is also the psychological weight of recent meetings. Nice have dominated the head-to-head trend, winning seven of the last ten clashes with Angers, including both games last season by 2-1 at home and 4-1 away. Angers have just a single victory in that period. If you are looking for reasons for Nice to believe, that historical dominance is certainly one of them.
Yet the tactical landscape this time is very different. Nice’s probable XI reveals a side in flux: Yehvann Diouf in goal behind a back line of Melvin Bard, Antoine Mendy and Kojo Peprah Oppong, with Jonathan Clauss and Tiago Gouveia offering width. The midfield trio of Tom Louchet and Salis Abdul Samed anchoring while Gouveia pushes on, plus a front line featuring Mohamed-Ali Cho, Terem Moffi and Sofiane Diop, screams technical ability and attacking potential. But the numbers do not lie: just four goals scored across their last six matches show that this potential has not translated into output.
Angers’ projected lineup appears far more pragmatic. Melvin Zinga is set to start between the posts, with Carlens Arcus, Ousmane Camara, Jordan Lefort and Jacques Ekomié forming a compact back four. In midfield, Haris Belkebla and Louis Mouton provide industry and protection, with Himad Abdelli and Yassin Belkhdim tasked with linking play to the front. Up top, Sidiki Chérif and Amine Sbaï are likely to supply the running and movement. This is a structure designed for containment first, creativity second.

Form Curves Pointing in Opposite Emotional Directions
Nice’s recent run is hard to sugar-coat. A 3-1 defeat at Lorient followed by a 1-5 home drubbing against Marseille, a 2-1 reverse at Metz and a 3-0 loss at Porto have shredded confidence. Six straight defeats in all competitions is not a blip; it is a meltdown. Despite that, their underlying quality and previous home record in the league – four wins from their last six at the Allianz Riviera before this slump – suggests they are not a lost cause. But they are fragile, nervous and perhaps one more bad result away from an internal reset.
Angers, in contrast, are playing like a team that know exactly who they are. They do not score many, they rarely blow teams away, but they are awkward to beat. A 1-0 defeat at Lille, a 2-2 draw at Marseille, and home wins against Auxerre and a gritty 1-0 success away at Toulouse demonstrate a pattern: tight margins, controlled risk and a strong emphasis on defensive organisation. Their attacking record is poor – just 12 goals in 14 games, and only four in seven away matches – but that limited firepower is balanced by their low-scoring, disciplined approach.
All of that creates a fascinating tension: one side in chaos with attacking talent but low confidence, the other calm, compact and offensively blunt.

Both Teams To Score – No
Why Our Single Pick Is Both Teams To Score – No
At BettingTips4You, we deliberately avoid giving you a shopping list of bets for every match. Instead, we assess the full range of markets and settle on a single selection that we believe best captures the tactical and statistical reality of the game. That one pick is then fully accountable – easy to track, easy to judge. For this clash, the bet that stands out most clearly is Both Teams To Score – No.
The starting point is Nice’s attacking crisis. Across their last six fixtures in all competitions, they have managed just four goals, averaging 0.67 per game. Terem Moffi, Sofiane Diop and Mohamed-Ali Cho are capable forwards, but the team’s collective confidence in the final third is visibly shaken. When your own fans are attacking the bus and the coach is reportedly contemplating resignation, free-flowing attacking football is not usually the natural response.
Then we look at Angers. Their attack is statistically one of the weakest in Ligue 1, with only 12 goals from 14 league matches and just four in seven away games. They average 0.57 goals per game on the road. Because of that, Angers’ league schedule has been dominated by low-scoring contests, with under 2.5 goals in 11 of their 14 matches – the most in the division. This style is reflected in their likely lineup: defensive solidity via Belkebla and Mouton, cautious full-backs and hard-working front men like Sbaï and Chérif.
Combine an out-of-form, low-confidence Nice attack with an Angers side who usually travel with the handbrake on, and you get a contest that screams at least one side failing to score.
BettingTips4You.com expert quote:
“If you strip away the noise – the fan unrest, the coaching rumours, the head-to-head history – the core numbers point clearly towards at least one blank on the scoreboard in Nice.”
Correct Score Prediction: Nice 1–0 Angers
A narrow 1–0 home win for Nice fits the underlying patterns. Angers’ conservative game-plan and weak attacking record make it unlikely they explode into life at the Allianz Riviera. At the same time, Nice still possess enough individual quality in Moffi, Diop, Cho and Gouveia to carve out one decisive moment, especially if Angers spend long spells pinned back. Given Angers’ tendency to feature in low-scoring matches and Nice’s recent attacking struggles, a single-goal margin feels far more plausible than a high-scoring affair.
