Nice team overview
Nice had two really good seasons behind them, finishing fifth and fourth. However, in the Europa League, they have been terrible and continued with such a trend this season. In Ligue 1, they had some success early in the season but have now lost four in a row and are in 10th place with 17 points from 14 rounds.
Overall, the Eaglets are in terrible momentum, losing six in a row across the competitions, and the fans are extremely unhappy. After the latest loss (3:1 vs Lorient), the fans attacked the club bus, with Moffi, Boga, and sports director Maurice receiving multiple punches to the head. According to credible sources, coach Franck Haise is willing to resign without compensation, and many believe a potential loss to Angers would be his last match as Nice's head coach.

Angers team overview
In the previous decade, Angers spent nine of the ten seasons in Ligue 1, but mostly in the lower half of the league table. This year, their goal remains the same - only to avoid a relegation battle. After 14 rounds, they are in 12th place with 16 points - five away from the danger zone. They average around 1.14 points per game, which is enough for survival in most seasons.
After a 2:1 loss against Lens, coach Alexandre Dujeux spoke to the media. He wasn't too unhappy with a loss, saying they had their chances. The coach said they were close to securing a penalty from the spot, but it was disallowed by VAR.

Prediction
Nice are in terrible form, having lost six in a row before this game. They only scored four goals in those six games - 0.67 per game! So, expecting a great offensive display seems unrealistic, especially against a team that will most likely play defensively on the road.
Angers have the second-worst offense in Ligue 1 with just 12 goals in 14 rounds - 0.86 per game. And away from home, that number is even lower (0.57 gpg). Due to a bad offense, but a solid defense as well, Angers went under 2.5 goals in 11 out of 14 Ligue 1 rounds - the most in the league.
In the previous three h2h games at Allianz Riviera, we saw fewer than three goals on two occasions. Considering all the above, we expect fewer than three goals in this Ligue 1 tie.
4 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- Nice scored four goals in the past six games
- Angers went under 2.5 goals in 11 out of 14 Ligue 1 rounds
- Angers scored just four goals in seven road (league) games
- Two out of the last three h2h games at Allianz Riviera finished with fewer than three goals
