Angers enters the match with an inconsistent record, alternating wins and losses. They have two clean sheets in their last five matches (1-0 against Nantes and 1-0 against Toulouse), but also three goalless defeats—against Monaco, Lille, and Lorient. The team plays carefully at home, but their attacking potential is limited.
Nice was in a deep crisis—they were in the relegation zone, even leading to a fight between players and fans. The second half of the season has been more successful for the "Eaglets," who managed to escape the red zone, although Nice's form still leaves much to be desired.
Both teams are in weak form, with Angers holding the psychological advantage of playing at home and beating Nice away in the first leg. However, the balance of power in the second leg is firmly in the visitors' favor.
