Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Angers
Nimes will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in Ligue 1 when they host Angers at their Stade des Costieres on Matchday 10. Les Crocodiles obviously suffered a dip in form, but the game against Angers could be the turning point for the home side. Loick Landre is banned for the hosts, while Zinedine Ferhat, Sidy Sarr, Clement Depres, and Antoine Valerio are all out of contention through injury.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Nice. Angers must be low on confidence ahead of the trip to Nimes, and given the importance of the match for the hosts, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. The likes of Enzo Ebosse and Pierrick Capelle are both sidelined with injury, while Farid El Melali has been left out of the squad due to disciplinary reasons.
