When and where is Angers SCO vs. OGC Nice?
The clubs and Ligue 1 list the game for Sunday, November 8, at Stade Raymond-Kopa in Angers. Angers' official fixture announcement gives the kickoff as 5:15 p.m.; the league's broadcast schedule lists the same time for the Matchday 10 fixture. France returned to standard time on October 25, so Angers will be on CET (UTC+01:00) on November 8. The published local kickoff therefore converts to 4:15 p.m. UTC on the same date.
Ligue 1's Matchday 10 preview, published November 2, listed El Ouazzani and Diatta in Angers' availability notes. For Nice, it listed Witsel, Abdi, Samed, Abergel and Mendy, with question marks beside the statuses of El Ouazzani and Witsel; Seidu was marked as a return. These are early-week notes, not a final medical update, and they do not establish who will be selected. Check the clubs' updates and the official match center closer to kickoff for changes.
No confirmed starting XI had been published by either club at the information-check time. The final team sheets will clarify whether the listed players are available and how each coach balances the lineup. The league's Matchday 10 preview and availability notes are the source for the provisional status summary.
How have Angers and Nice performed before Matchday 10?
Nice has the stronger recent run. A November 5 preview from the club says it collected 12 points from the previous 15 available in Ligue 1, following a difficult start. Its most recent league result was a 5-2 win against Rennes on October 30. Elye Wahi scored three times in that match, giving Nice a productive attacking reference point ahead of the trip. Those results support Nice's confidence, but they do not guarantee another high-scoring performance away from home.
Angers' immediate task is to restore its attacking output. The league's November 2 round-up described the SCO as having one point from its preceding four league matches, including three defeats, and no goal in its two most recent matches. Angers then lost 2-0 at Lyon on November 1, according to the club's official match coverage. The result leaves the home side needing a response, while playing at Raymond-Kopa gives it a familiar setting.
Nice's official preview also notes that Angers has won only one of its last 13 home Ligue 1 meetings with Nice, with six draws and six defeats. That historical run is context rather than a prediction: the current squads, form and match circumstances are different. It does, however, underline why Angers will want to start with control and make the home crowd a factor.
One likely point of emphasis is whether Angers can turn possession and forward pressure into chances after two scoreless league outings. Nice, meanwhile, will look to build on Wahi's finishing and its recent scoring form. This is a tactical reading of the available results, not a confirmed plan from either coaching staff. The official club and league previews do not establish a guaranteed formation or a match outcome.
Ligue 1's domestic television schedule lists the match on Ligue 1+ at 5:15 p.m. CET on November 8. The listing confirms the broadcaster named by the league, but viewing rights can vary by country. Fans outside France should check the official Ligue 1 international broadcaster directory or their local listings rather than assume the French feed is available in every territory.
For confirmed lineups, match events and the final score, use the official Ligue 1 match center. Because kickoff is still ahead, there is no result to report yet. A result should only be added after the match has been played and the final score is recorded.
