The 18th round of the French Ligue 1 will be opened by the encounter between Angers and Nantes, the two teams from the lower part of the French championship tournament table. After quite successful previous season, the future hosts do no look so good this season, but they are quite far from the relegation zone, whereas the future guests are currently in the zone.
Angers haven’t won a single match within the last five games of Ligue 1, which means, that the team’s shape is far from best. Generally, Stefane Moulin’s team is on the 12th place of Ligue 1 tournament table. The Black-and-Whites have had eight matches at home, which concluded in three victories, three draws and two defeats.
Nantes leave weak impression this season, but the team doesn’t seem to be giving up and fights in every game. The Canaries have had a successful mid-week match in the Coupe de la Ligue against Montpellier, having beaten their competitor 3:1. Nantes had little time to restore after such a hard game, the team is not used to playing two games a week, so they might have some problems, especially given the fact, that it will be an away game.
Angers players must take advantage of Nantes’ hard mid-week game against Montpellier. Besides, Black-and-Whites’ supporters have been long waiting for a victory of their favorites, thus the hosts’ motivation will be high. And considering all this, the upcoming game against Nantes will very likely end with a victory of Moulin’s men.
Prediction for the match: Angers to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
