Angers vs Nice prediction

Match analysis

Nice have hit Over 2.5 in all of their last five matches (5:2, 2:1, 1:2, 2:1, 2:1), showing consistent high scoring led by Elie Wahi with six goals in eight games. Angers concede an average of 1.89 goals per game and have shipped five twice in their last five outings (vs Marseille and Brest), while their xGA of 1.62 confirms defensive issues. Combined xG for both sides (Angers 1.34+1.62, Nice 1.33+1.75) averages around 3.0 goals per game, well above the 2.5 line. The market's fair probability of 54.5% on Over 2.5 likely underestimates Nice's current attacking firepower and Angers' inability to keep clean sheets (just 3 in 9 games). No injury news that would force a more cautious approach was found in available sources. Therefore, our model at ~58% probability gives ~6% edge at the best odds of 1.83.
