Angers vs Monaco Prediction
Angers come into this one on the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Stade Brest last weekend, meaning they have now managed just two victories in their last nine matches across all competitions. They do remain fairly comfortably clear of the bottom three and the danger zone in Ligue 1. They now face a Monaco side that, under the management of former Borussia Monchengladbach boss Adi Hutter, most recently shared a 1-1 draw with Toulouse away from home in a game in which they conceded a second-half stoppage-time equaliser in that game. Monaco are favourites for this one, despite their inconsistency that has blighted their campaign through the late autumn months and winter.
