Nimes and Angers difficult to separate

Nimes and Angers difficult to separate

On Wednesday evening, Nimes host Angers in Ligue One, as both teams look for a victory that would move them up the table

Nimes are currently 12th in the French top-flight table but could move into the top-half with a victory in this clash. However, the home side’s recent league form has been poor, as they have lost three of their last four Ligue One outings, including suffering a 1-0 home defeat against Toulouse last time out in the Ligue 1.

Nimes recent Ligue One matches have been relatively high scoring, with four of their last six league outings producing over 2.5 goals.

The home side has won just two of their last eight home matches in Ligue One while recording just three home wins this season. Their recent home matches in the league have been low scoring, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight matches.

Angers are currently six points above the relegation play-off spot in Ligue 1 and a victory in this clash would take them above the home side in the table.

Their recent league form has been highly inconsistent, though. The visitors have lost just once in their last seven Ligue One matches. However, five of those seven matches have finished in draws.

A 1-0 win over Nantes last time out in Ligue One ended a six-match winless run for the visitors in the French top-flight.

Angers have failed to win in five away games in the French top-flight. However, they have also lost just once in seven away matches in Ligue One, as they have drawn four of their five winless matches. Their recent away matches have been low scoring in the French top-flight with five of their last six matches producing under 2.5 goals.

There is not much between these sides, so it is unsurprising that Forebet predicts that this game will end in a low scoring draw.
