Monaco vs Angers Prediction

Les Monégasques suffered their first loss in a competitive game since April last week and will look to bounce back with a win. They are unbeaten in their last 11 home games in Ligue 1, keeping six clean sheets, and are strong favorites. They have suffered one loss in their last 14 meetings against the visitors, though that loss was registered at home.

Folarin Balogun, Mamadou Coulibaly, Edan Diop, and Mohammed Salisu are nursing injuries and are not an option for this match. Vanderson and Jordan Teze will serve suspensions here. Eliesse Ben Seghir was on the bench against Nice and should return to the starting XI.

Les Noirs et Blancs registered their first win of the season last week and will look to build on that form. They scored four goals in a competitive match for the first time since March and will look to build on their prolific run here. They have played out 1-1 draws in their last three away games in Ligue 1.

Zinedine Ferhat, Joseph Lopy, Cédric Hountondji, Justin Kalumba, and Sidiki Cherif are nursing injuries while Zinedine Ould Khaled and Bamba Dieng are doubts. Lilian Raolisoa will serve his final suspension here.

Considering Les Monégasques' home form and dominance in this fixture, the hosts are expected to eke out a narrow win.
