Nantes vs Angers Betting Tips and Prediction 3rd June. In their final Ligue 1 game of the year on Saturday, 17th-placed Nantes will host last-placed Angers at the Stade de la Beaujoire in a matchup between two teams in the relegation zone.
The hosts have lost two straight games and have gone winless in their past two league contests. In their previous match, Jonathan David scored twice from the penalty spot in the second half to give Lille a 2-1 victory despite Quentin Merlin’s goal in the 19th minute.
With two points separating Nantes and Auxerre in 16th place, Nantes still has a chance to stay in the top division. They will have to win and hope that Auxerre loses to Lens for that to happen.
The visitors have just 18 points to their name and will finish last in the league table, irrespective of this match’s result. They returned to winning ways after six games last week, as goals from Himad Abdelli and Lillian Rao-Lisoa helped them to a 2-1 home win over Troyes.
Nantes vs Angers – Important Points:
Derby de l’ouest or Derby of the West is another name for the matchup of the two Western French teams. Since 1963, they have faced off 63 times in all competitions. The home team has a stronger record with 35 victories compared to Angers’ 11 victories and 17 games that ended in draws.
Although the hosts prevailed on penalties in the Coupe de France in February, the last three encounters between the two teams have finished in draws.
This season, the visitors have only picked up one victory away from home. The hosts have failed to score in four of their previous seven Ligue 1 home games, going winless throughout that stretch.
Nantes vs Angers – The Prediction:
The hosts have only won six games in Ligue 1 so far, but four of those victories have taken place on Saturday’s field. They have had recent league form issues and have gone winless since February. They have lost just three games there since 1970, despite having lost their last four home games versus the visitors.
Since a 1-0 away victory against Nice in September, Les Noirs et Blancs have only managed one victory on the road this season and have failed to score in eight of their 15 away games.
Although both sides have had recent struggles in league play, we anticipate the hosts to pull out a narrow victory because their top-flight status is on the line.
