Monaco looking to bounce back against Angers after back-to-back defeats.
Desperate to avoid finishing their top-flight campaign on a low, relegated Angers look to throw a wrench in Monaco's quest for a top-four spot this Sunday at Stade Raymond Kopa.
Angers SCO
Angers were officially relegated to Ligue 2 following their 4-2 loss to Rennes last weekend. It was the earliest relegation seen since Troyes dropped to the lower division in the 2015/16 season with six games to go.
They were left with three defeats in a row, DWLLL, following the loss, while seated at the bottom of the table in 20th place. They have nothing to play for except ruining Monaco’s chances of a top-four finish.
The home side has 14 points after 3W, 5D, and 25L heading into this weekend's clash with the reputation of having the worst defense in Ligue 1. Angers have shipped 72 goals in 33 Ligue 1 games (2.18 GPG), having conceded eight goals in their last three games.
Furthermore, they have won only one of their last 13 games against Monaco in Ligue 1 (1W, 2D, 10L) and have lost each of their last six against ASM in the top-flight. In addition, Angers have dropped 14 points after scoring the first goal in Ligue 1 this season, as many points as they currently have in the standings.
On Sunday, a 3—5—2 formation with Ibrahima Niane and Adrien Hunou in attack is anticipated against Monaco. Alexandre Dujeux will be without as many as four players, including Farid El Melali and Lois Diony.
Monaco
Monaco suffered back-to-back defeats following a 4-0 loss to Montpellier last weekend, dealing a significant blow to their race for a top-four finish. They have 61 points and are eight points adrift of third-placed Lens, while also keeping an eye on fifth-placed Lille, which is just two points behind.
In their last nine Ligue 1 games, Monaco has suffered four losses, as many as in their previous 34. Brazilian right-back Vanderson expressed both frustration and sadness after their recent performances, noting that coming off two defeats in a row is never pleasant.
"There are still five games to go, and we know that in football anything is possible. The most regrettable thing is not having shown our best selves. This match against Angers is an opportunity to move forward," he added, hopeful for a win.
For the upcoming game against Angers, Philippe Clement and Les Monégasques might opt for a 4-2-2-2 formation, with Ben Yedder and Eliesse Ben Seghir leading the attack.
