2 PREVIEW : OGC NICE - ANGERS SCO Feature Preview OGC Nice's formidable scoring machine meets Angers SCO's stoic rearguard when the pair come together to open Week 21 on Friday. Only leaders Paris Saint-Germain have plundered more goals in Ligue 1 this season than Nice. With Hatem ben Arfa inspirational and Valère Germain clinical, Claude Puel's men have been one of the French top-flight's most entertaining sides. Since a run of four stunning victores, in which a breathtaking 17 goals were scored, came to an end in Week 11, however, they have struggled to ensure their efforts have been rewarded with points. Only three victories have come in the ten league outings since that heady series, though they showed character in coming from behind to earn a point at LOSC Lille last time out. "It's a good point given how the game unfolded," said Puel after taking a point away from his former club. "We dug deep in the first half and managed to equalise on the stroke of half-time. That was good for us. It was well earned. I think we knew we could regain some balance in the second half. It was a good game against a team in form." Just as he did at Lille, Puel has blooded a number of youngsters at the Allianz Riviera. While Olivier Boscagli has impressed in defence, Vincent Koziello has shown maturity beyond his 20 years in midfield. "There's a lot of confidence in the team," said goalkeeper Yoan Cardinale, who - aged only 21 - has found himself promoted to first-choice as a consequence of injuries to Simon Pouplin and Mouez Hassen. "We're a young squad, so we don't have time to think too much. We can really get over things quickly and get into the next game. Being young is perhaps a positive thing for us." The Angers squad has more experience, but even their most die-hard fan could barely have expected them to be in second place at this stage of the season. Stéphane Moulin's men maintained the momentum of promotion in the first half of the campaign, and though they have slowed in recent weeks - with three wins in ten league outings, like Nice - they remain in the hunt for what would be the most remarkable of podium finishes. The platform for their success - in contrast to Nice, who are fourth, four points behind their opponents - has been their rock-solid defence. Only PSG have conceded fewer goals, and they kept another clean sheet in last weekend's victory over fellow surprise packages SM Caen. "The players did everything that was required to get the year off to a winning start," said Moulin, whose side also made progress in the Coupe de France with victory in their very first outing of "Victories like these give you confidence. I took a lot of pleasure from watching it. I asked the players to play without pressure and without any hang-ups. I saw players who were daring and enterprising and they were rewarded for that. "We have 34 points and we are quickly closing in on our objective. We are second but after 20 games that is merely anecdotal and not what matters most to me, although it is something to savour and after this victory that is something we are entitled to do. There is still a long way to go. It is good to be where we are before coming up against the bigger sides." 01/14/2016 Ligue de Football Professionnel / Ligue1.com 2
