Clean Sheets Unlikely in Angers’ Clash with Nimes

Angers suffered a third straight defeat in the least last time out, going down 2-1 away at Bordeaux. Nimes picked up a much-needed victory in their last game as they surprised us all with a 2-1 win at Marseille. Following those results, the distance between these two clubs in the Ligue 1 table have been reduced to 15pts, but Nimes remain in last place while Angers occupy 10th position.

When these two sides have locked horns in recent seasons, the results have been split. Angers have won two and Nimes have won three of the duo’s last five encounters in Ligue 1. We’re expecting goals in this game as both teams have scored in three of the last five matches between Angers and Nimes, with over 2.5 goals being scored in five of their last seven fixtures.

Neither of these two sides have kept a single clear sheet in their last six attempts, with both teams scoring in four of the host’s and three of the visitor’s last six league games. As far as the form guide is concerned, Angers have picked up two wins, one draw and three defeats from their last six outings, while Nimes have only won one, drawn one and lost four during that same period.

We’re predicting that both teams will score on Sunday and have backed Angers to claim a 2-1 win. Clean sheets have come at a premium for both of these sides lately, but Angers have the home advantage and form in their favour this weekend, not to mention, they also beat Nimes 5-1 in their reverse league fixture back in November.
