Angers SCO will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 27 points behind Monaco.

Insights:
  • Angers SCO haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Monaco have the most scored goals in the second half (46) in Ligue 1

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Angers SCO and Monaco.

Monaco have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Monaco are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Angers SCO form and stats

Angers SCO have collected 18 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 5-3-8.

S. Bahoken was the last player to score a league goal for Angers SCO and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Angers SCO haven't scored in 198 minutes.

Angers lost their last game at Paris Saint Germain (placed 2nd) after a 0-5 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home Ligue 1 game against Rennes that was lost 0-3.

Angers SCO were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The Angers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Angers have conceded 24 from these games.

Monaco form and stats

Playing away, Monaco have won 10 games, drawn 0 and suffered 6 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. The fact that Monaco have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Monaco has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Monaco goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte is eager to challenge this, with his 450 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

It's the second away game in a row for Monaco, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Olympique Lyonnais (placed 4th) in the Coupe de France last time out. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Bordeaux at their stadium, the result 3-0.

Monaco are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 31 times in 16 away games so far. Monaco have conceded 21 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Monaco - Angers 3-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Angers victories, two draws and six Monaco wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
