Winners at Brest two weeks ago, les Aiglons are back on the road at Angers this weekend for their Ligue 1 Matchday 10 game on Sunday (5:15pm CET). Here's the match preview in 5 stats provided by Opta.

12 points from 15

After a slow start to the season that left them bottom of the table with two points (2 draws, 2 losses), Nice have the second-best run of form since with 12 points from four matches behind only Paris SG (15 points, Marseille also have 12).

BETTER SECOND-HALF PERFORMANCES

Angers (29% - 5/17) and Nice (42% - 5/12) are the two teams who have conceded the lowest percentage of their goals in the second half this Ligue 1 season. SCO are the only team not to have dropped points due to goals conceded in the second half this term.

4 IN A ROW FOR Wahi?

After a hat-trick last time out, Elye Wahi could become the fifth Nice player to find the net in four successive Ligue 1 games in the 21st century after Mario Balotelli (4 in 2017 twice), Amine Gouiri (4 in 2021), Gaëtan Laborde (4 in 2025) and Sofiane Diop (5 en 2025).

Hein the LINE-BREAKER

Gauthier Hein has made 34 passes through opposition lines in Ligue 1 this season, the second-highest tally in the league with Lorient midfielder Arthur Avom (36).

A POSITIVE RECORD AT Raymond-Kopa

Angers have won just one of their last 13 home games against Nice in Ligue 1 (6 draws, 6 defeats), a 3-0 win in February 2019. SCO have lost four of their last five home games with Nice (1 draw).
