Angers and Nice are set to battle it out in a top-half Ligue 1 derby on Sunday afternoon at Stade Raymond-Kopa.
The teams will enter the tie off the back of draws to Saint-Etienne and Marseille respectively.
Angers offered a disappointing performance in a 2-2 draw away at Saint-Etienne last Friday. They got the breakthrough via goals from Ismael Traore and Angelo Fulgini but fell apart in the second half, allowing their counterparts to come back and earn an important point.
The team led by Gerald Baticle scored their two goals from just two shots on target on the occasion. They were completely outplayed by the rivals who held them at just four shots in total.
Angers could struggle for opportunities in the final third here against Nice as well. The visitors are still the toughest team to break down in this league.
They’ve allowed only 8 goals in 11 matches so far and they offered another strong defensive performance on Wednesday evening against Marseille (a 1-1 draw).

愤怒队和尼斯队将在周日下午在雷蒙德-科帕球场举行的法甲上半程德比中决一雌雄。
这两支球队将分别在战平圣艾蒂安和马赛后进入平局。
在上周五客场2-2战平圣艾蒂安的比赛中，愤怒队的表现令人失望。他们通过特拉奥雷和福尔吉尼的进球取得了突破，但在下半场崩溃了，让他们的对手卷土重来并赢得了重要的一分。
在这场比赛中，杰拉德·巴蒂尔(Gerald Baticle)率领的球队仅通过两次射正就打入两球。他们被总共只有四次射门的对手彻底击败了。
在对阵尼斯的比赛中，愤怒队可能也会在最后三分之一争夺机会。客队仍然是这个联赛中最难击败的球队。
到目前为止，他们在11场比赛中只失球8个，他们在周三晚上对阵马赛(1-1战平)的比赛中再次表现出强大的防守能力。
