In the match of the third round of the French championship Angers will play at home with Nice. Both teams have not started the season in the best way, which for the hosts seems to be expected, as the team returned from Ligue 2 and did not strengthen too qualitatively. Therefore, it will be one of the main contenders to return to the second division. So far, everything is going towards that. Although you have to discount the complexity of the calendar at the start of the season at Angers. He met in the first round with strong Lance (0:1), and in the second round - with even more powerful Lille (0:2). It is disappointing that these opponents Angers could not score a single goal, not to mention defeats.

Nice would have looked like a clearly more powerful opponent for Angers earlier too, which would have boded the hosts a sure defeat. However, Nice themselves are not going through the best of times right now either. Despite the invitation of a rather interesting and strong coach Frank Eze, this team cannot find an optimal game. In the first round Nice unexpectedly lost to Auxerre with the score 1:2. And in the second played a draw with Toulouse (1:1), which also does not look like a powerful opponent. At the same time, the composition of Nice is more than decent and allows, in fact, to fight for places in the European Cup.

The current rivals last met the season before last. Then Angers drew with Nice at home (1:1), and even won away - 1:0. So the hosts should have good memories of these meetings.
