Angers SCO and Chamois Niortais will go head-to-head at the Raymond Kopa Stadium in a friendly on Wednesday (December 14).
Abdelaziz Bouhazama’s men head into the midweek matchup on a run of eight defeats and will look to stop the rot ahead of their return to Ligue 1 action.
Angers failed to snap their losing streak as they fell to a 3-2 loss against Saint-Gilloise in the first of their two friendlies on Friday. They have now lost eight games across competitions since a 1-0 victory over OGC Nice in September.
Angers have endured an underwhelming 2022-23 campaign and are languishing at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings with just eight points from 15 games.
Meanwhile, Niort made it two wins from two last time out when they saw off Estrela 2-1 in a friendly away from home. That followed a penalty shootout win over National 2 side Bergerac Perigord in round eight of the Coupe de France on November 18.
Niort head into the midweek clash unbeaten in five of their last six games, with a 2-1 loss to Stade Lavallois on November 5 being the exception.
