Les Monégasques suffered their first defeat in the current championship, losing to Nice in the previous round with a score of 1-2. Moreover, this loss ended an 11-match unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 (9 wins, 2 draws). The club from the principality retained the 2nd position in the French championship standings, but the gap from the leader increased to 3 points. Monaco also continues to lead the list of the most reliable defensive teams of the current Ligue 1 season with Lens, conceding only 6 goals.
- At least 3 goals were scored in 5 of the last 6 Monaco matches in the French championship.
- The club's unbeaten home streak in this tournament is 11 matches (7 wins, 4 draws).
- There have been goal exchanges in 5 out of the last 7 Monaco matches in Ligue 1.
Angers
On the contrary, Angers secured their first victory of the current championship by defeating Saint-Étienne in the previous match with a score of 4-2. This success ended a 9-match winless streak in Ligue 1 (4 draws, 5 losses). It's also noteworthy that Angers has been scoring consistently over 7 matches in France's top division. The win in the last round allowed Angers to leave the relegation zone, climbing to the 15th spot in the Ligue 1 standings.
- Opponents have exchanged goals in the last 7 Angers matches in the French championship.
- The club has not lost in 5 out of the last 6 Ligue 1 matches (1 win, 4 draws).

Monaco vs Angers: match prediction
Adi Hütter's team couldn't hold on in the Riviera derby last round, succumbing to Nice. Nonetheless, at home in Ligue 1, Monaco hasn't lost in 11 encounters since March. In the current championship, the club from the principality has played 5 home matches, claiming 3 victories. But Monaco has only won by more than one goal in 1 out of these 5 encounters. Therefore, I don't expect an easy match for the hosts.
Angers has noticeably improved and gives their opponents a fight in every match. The club has not lost in 5 of their last 6 Ligue 1 encounters, including snatching points from Marseille on the road. Moreover, exiting the relegation zone should provide an additional emotional boost. I believe that even if the visitors lose, it's unlikely to be by a wide margin, and they are quite capable of holding a solid positive handicap. With a 2-goal handicap, the team hasn't lost in 18 out of their last 19 matches in the French championship (14 victories, 4 returns).
Therefore, my prediction is "Angers with a (+2) handicap" at odds of .
