The Matchday 24 Ligue 1 fixture between Monaco and Angers will take place on 28 February at the Stade Louis II in Fontvieille. Monaco vs Angers: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Monaco
Monaco are in their best form of the season. The hosts are unbeaten in five consecutive Ligue 1 matches (three wins and two draws) for the first time since May last year. The team come into this round on the back of two straight league victories, having beaten Nantes 3:1 at home before unexpectedly overcoming Lens away from home in their last match (3:2). Thanks to this strong run, the club have climbed to eighth in the standings and are now just three points off the European places. It is also worth noting that Monaco are among the top five highest-scoring teams in the league, with 38 goals.
- At least four goals have been scored in five of Monaco’s last seven Ligue 1 matches.
- Monaco’s no-draw run at home in the league stands at eight matches – four wins and four defeats.
- The club are unbeaten at half-time in their last five home Ligue 1 matches (two wins and three draws).
Potential Monaco Lineup (5-3-2)*
Philipp Kohn – Denis Zakaria, Thilo Kehrer, Wout Faes, Jordan Teze, Caio Henrique – Lamine Camara, Mamadou Coulibaly, Krepin Diatta – Simon Adingra, Folarin Balogun.
Goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, midfielders Krepin Diatta, Pape Cabral, Paul Pogba and Takumi Minamino, and defenders Kassoum Ouattara, Mohammed Salisu and Eric Dier are out injured. Midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly will miss the match through suspension.
Angers
Angers hosted Lille last round and lost 0:1. It was their second consecutive defeat without scoring in the current league campaign – previously, the away side lost at Lorient (0:2). This season, the team have had three such mini-runs of at least two straight Ligue 1 defeats, but they have not failed to score in two consecutive matches since October last year. Angers sit 12th in the standings and have a comfortable 12-point cushion over the bottom three. It is also worth noting that the club have scored just 22 goals, with only two teams in the league finding the net fewer times.
- The team have failed to win five of their last seven Ligue 1 matches (one draw and four defeats).
- At least one of the sides has failed to score in Angers’ last five league matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 10 of their last 13 away Ligue 1 matches.
Potential Angers Lineup (4-5-1)*
Herve Koffi – Ousmane Camara, Lilian Rao-Lisoa, Jordan Lefort, Jacques Ekomie – Louis Mouton, Branco van den Boomen, Haris Belkebla, Yassine Belkhdim, Mohamed Sbai – Goduine Koyalipou.

Monaco vs Angers: Match Prediction
Monaco have got their game in order and have won three of their last four league matches, drawing the other one. At the same time, the home side have kept a clean sheet in three of their previous five Ligue 1 games. It is also worth adding that Monaco have won their last two home league matches convincingly, with an aggregate score of 7:1. Most likely, the team will claim another victory, especially as Angers are not known for strong away results, having failed to win 10 of their last 12 away Ligue 1 matches (three draws and seven defeats).
We also expect the game is unlikely to be very high-scoring. No more than three goals have been scored in the last six head-to-head league meetings. We would also add that Monaco have won eight of the last 10 Ligue 1 meetings between these sides. It is also worth noting that no more than three goals have been scored in Angers’ last six away league matches. And, of course, Angers’ matches are among the lowest-scoring in the current campaign.
Prediction: Monaco to win + Under 3.5 goals
* For each team, the starting XI is from their previous match in this competition.
