Angers vs. Monaco: Match Prediction
I don't expect a very high-scoring game. This is particularly suggested by the head-to-head statistics. In 8 of the last 9 meetings in the league, no more than three goals have been scored. In Monaco's away games, we see a similar pattern: in their last 13 away matches in Ligue 1, the teams have only scored more than three goals in total on three occasions.
In Angers' matches, low scoring is also common. No more than three goals have been scored in 6 of the team's last 8 Ligue 1 games. Even at home, the club's matches rarely entertain fans with a goal fest. In the last six games at the Raymond Kopa Stadium in the French championship, fans have only seen more than three goals once.
Based on these facts, I think the upcoming match will not offer many goals, so my prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
