Nantes v Angers: survival push meets mid-table reset | OneFootball

Nantes host Angers in Ligue 1 at Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday, 7 March 2026, with the hosts chasing vital survival points and the visitors aiming to consolidate mid-table.

Nantes are 17th on 17 points, while Angers sit 12th with 29. Angers won the reverse fixture 4-1 in December.

Les Canaris have lost four of their last five league games, the exception a 2-0 win over Le Havre. Angers followed back-to-back February wins with three straight defeats against Lorient, Lille and Monaco.

Les Canaris average 0.9 goals per game and concede 1.7, while Angers have allowed 30 and kept eight clean sheets. Both have scored 22 league goals, so margins could be tight. Potential outlets include Youssef El Arabi and Igniatius Kpene Ganago for the hosts, with Goduine Koyalipou and Prosper Peter offering pace for Angers.

With open play crossing a regular route for the hosts, their 20.47% accuracy from 254 deliveries could matter, while Angers' 51.25% shooting accuracy hints they may punish errors if chances come.

A win would take Les Canaris to 20 points and could haul them towards the relegation play-off place. Angers would reach 32 with victory and could climb the table towards the top half.
