Nantes take on the visitors Angers at “La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau” in the round 18 of the French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, December 17th.
After a successful start of the season, Nantes have substantially slowed down recently. Claudio Ranieri’s side deserved only three victories, two draws and five defeats in 10 latest clashes. Last gameweek “Les Canaris” were beaten by Nice with 1:2 scoreline at the home pitch. However, even that unsuccessful streak doesn’t prevent the club from occupying now the fifth position in the French elite division table with 27 points earned and 16-18 goal difference. “Les Canaris” collected 16 points with eight goals for and five goals against in eight matches played at their own turf.

This mid-week Angers defeated Metz with 1:0 scoreline and promoted to the quarter-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue, but what is more important, the team has broken its seven-clash series without triumphs which has been lasted since the 25th of October. Despite their achievements in the Coupe, “Les Scoistes” settle on the 19th place in the Ligue 1 standings with 15 points taken and 19-27 goal difference, being in the relegation zone. It may sound strange, but Angers gained most of their points exactly on the road, namely, 11 points with 11-11 goal difference in nine encounters conducted. However, the club lost two latest away battles to Troyes 0:3 and Monaco 0:1.
Nantes have won four recent head-to-heads against Angers: 2:0, 2:1, 2:0 and 2:1. “Les Canaris” are considered to be the favourites of the forthcoming fight as well and have a full right to claim for three points in it.
Prediction for the match: Nantes to win.
