Prediction: Monaco vs Angers
Monaco come into this match with strong form and a solid home record, making them the favorites to claim all three points. Les Rouges et Blancs have shown resilience this season, especially in attack, where their late-game scoring has been critical. Even without key players like Jordan Teze and Vanderson due to suspensions, Monaco’s depth and recent momentum should serve them well.
Angers, despite a much-needed recent win over St. Etienne, continue to face challenges, particularly in away matches and against top-tier teams. Their defense has been vulnerable, and with multiple injuries and suspensions further complicating matters, they’ll likely struggle to contain Monaco’s attacking pressure.
Given these factors, a Monaco win seems the most probable outcome, potentially with both teams finding the net due to Monaco’s aggressive style and Angers’ scoring potential. A 2-1 or 3-1 scoreline in favor of Monaco seems likely, with the home side looking to bounce back decisively from their loss to Nice.
