Monaco – Angers Preview

The Philippe Clement methods continue to produce results as Monaco’s 4-1 win against St-Étienne made it six consecutive Ligue 1 victories, leaving them just outside third spot on goal difference. Although four of Monaco’s last five wins were settled by only a single-goal margin, Clement praised his team’s mentality by saying that he is “happy with the attitude of the players”, a trait which has helped transform the team from mid-table also rans to Champions League hopefuls since his arrival.
Monaco failed to win their first three league matches at home this season (D1, L2), but have secured victories in ten of their 14 home Ligue 1 fixtures since (D3, L1), with seven of those wins coming by a 2+ goal margin. The Stade Louis II has therefore been a happy hunting ground for the ‘Monégasques’ this season, a point further highlighted by the fact that only three sides have won more home points so far (34).
This is proving to be a difficult end of season for visitors Angers, who have gradually relinquished a comfortable mid-table position to now be no longer assured of survival. A 2-2 away draw against fellow relegation contenders Clermont made it only one win from their last 13 Ligue 1 outings (D3, L9) and meant they sat just four points ahead of the relegation play-off spot after the last round of action.
To stop that unenviable streak, Gérald Baticle’s side need to drastically improve away as Angers sit in the bottom four of the five-game away form standings (D2, L3). Holding onto a lead could be the difference between relegation and safety come May, as the ‘SCO’ boast the division’s second-worst average point return (1.25) after scoring first away this season (W2, D4, L2).
Players to watch: Monaco’s Aleksandr Golovin could celebrate his 100th appearance in Ligue 1 with a fourth goal contribution in five matches (G1, A2), whilst Angers’ Angelo Fulgini has scored four of his five Ligue 1 goals this season away from home.
Hot stat: Five of the previous six Ligue 1 H2Hs held here have featured a 1-0 scoreline at half-time either way.
