Scrambling Angers SCO need to pull off an upset when they play enterprising Monaco in the next league fixture. It’s 20th vs 4th and the home crowd will have so-so expectations.

Insights:
  • Angers SCO have the most conceded goals (72) in Ligue 1
  • Monaco have scored more than double the goals of Angers SCO.

These teams have little in common geographically as Monaco have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Angers SCO form and stats

Angers SCO's results here at Stade Raymond Kopa in the Ligue 1 have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 12 defeats. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Angers SCO to get some points in this home game.

Angers are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-4 away versus Rennes. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Bentaleb (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.65/10. Bentaleb scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 5 of 7 times and had 45 successful passes (of 56 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Paris Saint Germain (1-2).

With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Angers SCO defense is not exactly impregnable. 33 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. When Angers SCO hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Auxerre, Troyes, Brest, Ajaccio, Strasbourg and Nantes), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.

Monaco form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 9 wins, 5 draws and only 2 losses in the Ligue 1.

The attacking players of Monaco have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 215 minutes.

Monaco have lots to to set right after their unexpected loss (0-4) to Montpellier in their previous match, played at their own home ground. Monaco lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lens wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 9 of this side's 11 latest league games have ended with at least three goals.

Monaco are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 30 times in 16 away games so far. As opposed to that, Monaco have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The 6 most recent matches featuring these sides have all ended as Monaco victories. Another one?

Monaco - Angers 2-0 was the scoreline in these teams' latest H2H game, played this season.
