Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Nice should be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
At the other end, Angers SCO wonโt find it easy to find the back of the net but we do fancy them scoring here.
We therefore think that itโs going to be a controlled 3-1 win for Nice at full-time.
