Nice: stronger momentum, vulnerable back line
Nice have won four of their last five matches. They beat Lille and Strasbourg by the same score, lost at Lyon, won away at Brest and defeated Rennes in a five-goal home performance. Nice have scored in all five recent matches and are on a two-match winning run. Their league record contains 13 goals for and 12 against. Away, they have 1 win and 3 defeats, with 3 goals scored and 7 conceded.
Attacking output against an incomplete defence
- BTTS landed in 6 of Nice’s 9 league matches.
- Six of those nine games also went above 2.5 total goals.
- Nice have kept only one clean sheet in the tournament.
- Sepe Elye Wahi leads the team with 3 goals and 2 assists; Jonathan Clauss has 2 goals and 1 assist.
Nice will be without defenders Moise Bombito, Antoine Mendy and Ali Abdi, as well as holding midfielder Laurent Abergel. Axel Witsel is doubtful with a muscle injury. These absences reduce defensive depth and may affect protection in front of the centre-backs.

Our Forecast
Angers SCO host Nice at Stade Raymond Kopa. The visitors have scored in all five of their latest matches across all competitions, winning four, including a 5:2 victory over Rennes. Nice have scored 13 goals in nine Ligue 1 rounds, with Sepe Elye Wahi contributing three goals and two assists.
Angers have conceded 17 goals in nine league fixtures, including nine across five home matches. Their recent results include five goals conceded against Marseille and two against Lyon. Nice won their last two visits to Angers 4:1 and 2:0.
Nice are without Moise Bombito, Laurent Abergel, Antoine Mendy and Ali Abdi, while Axel Witsel is doubtful. Those absences in defence and defensive midfield could leave openings for Angers without reducing the visitors’ scoring threat. Our pick is Individual Total 2 Over (1) 1.3. The projected score is 1:2, with Nice scoring at least two goals.
Conclusion
Individual Total 2 Over (1) 1.3 targets Nice’s consistent scoring against an Angers defence conceding more than a goal per home game.
