Angers vs Nantes Prediction & Betting Tips (12 December)

Having just won against a Nice team in 0-1 crisis, Angers is having a good time at the end of the year. A third victory in the last 4 days played against Auxerre 2-0, Toulouse 0-1, Lens defeated 1-2 and therefore Nice. This significant contribution of points for Angevins contenders to maintain places them in 11th position in the ranking as mid-season approaches, with a good margin of maneuver over the first relegation - 8 points. The SCO was defeated twice in its first 7 receptions of the year, for 3 victories and 2 draws. FC Nantes fell a little further into the red last weekend.

Defeated in the last quarter of an hour by Lens 1-2, the Canaries suffered a second defeat in a row, after that at Lyon 3-0, and now have 6 games without a win, 2 draws, 4 losses. The situation seriously weakens their coach Luis Castro, whom the leaders will keep in his post for this meeting and the 32nd final of the Coupe de France on December 21 against Concarneau. His team is not the one to concede the most goals in the first part of the season but they managed only one clean sheet in the first 15 days. 

The SCO is complete since the return of its winger Allevinah from injury. Returning last weekend after three months of convalescence, the Gabonese will be there again before flying with Gabon to compete in the CAN. His compatriot Ekomié (left side) and Bukinabé Koffi (goalkeeper), both starters in the Angevin eleven, will also participate in the competition but will also be present against Nantes. Belkhdim scored the winning goal in Nice, the second for him this season. The team's top scorers, Chérif and Peter (3 goals each), went several matches without scoring.

 Nantes enters a new meeting without the versatile Leroux, a trained midfielder that Luis Castro also used on the left side of the defense. He was joined in the infirmary by Guirassy (2 goals) while the experienced Coquelin (midfielder), in the recovery phase, risks being too short. Lahdo (1 goal) should accompany El-Arabi (3 goals) and Abline (2 goals) in the attacking trio. Having just arrived from Lens, Machado will compete with Cozza for the left-back position. 

• Summary: Angers is going head to head with Nantes starting on 12 Dec 2025 at 19:45 UTC at Stade Raymond Kopa stadium, Angers city, France. The match is a part of the Ligue 1 .
