Angers VS Nice

Angers have sunk into a deeply worrying slump in recent Ligue 1 outings. Across their last eight top-flight matches, they have only claimed two wins, both against lower-ranked sides Troyes and Auxerre, and have barely found effective ways to contain stronger opponents. Their backline has revealed huge unaddressed flaws lately. The lopsided 2-5 home thrashing by Marseille, 1-5 away rout by Brest, followed by the latest 0-2 away loss to Lyon, have all laid bare their severe issues in defensive organization, extending their ongoing winless run. The visiting Nice, a far more solid and competitive side, will pose a massive test for the out-of-sorts home team.
