Angers on the verge of 20-game winless away run in trip to Monaco.
Monaco, eager to bounce back from their first loss of the season, host an Angers side aiming to extend their three-match unbeaten run, as both teams clash at Stade Louis II on Friday evening.
Monaco
Monaco suffered their first defeat of the season across all competitions, losing 2-1 to Nice in the Derby de la Cote d'Azur last Sunday. The Monégasques initially took the lead with Breel Embolo's goal in the 39th minute, but Nice's Evann Guessand equalized shortly before halftime.
Shortly after the equalizer, a heated altercation broke out involving several players from both teams. Vanderson received a second yellow card and was dismissed, leaving Monaco with ten men. Despite being down a player, Monaco remained in the game until Gaëtan Laborde capitalized on a defensive mistake and scored the winner for Nice in the 71st minute.
Monaco [WWWDL] retained second place despite the loss, with 20 points from 6 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, trailing table-toppers PSG by three points. Next, they face Angers, a team they've defeated in their last seven encounters, marking their longest ongoing winning streak against a top-flight team.
Adi Hütter's side has been strong on home turf, remaining unbeaten in 11 Ligue 1 home games (7 wins, 4 draws), their longest run since a 13-game streak between December 2017 and August 2018. Breel Embolo, who scored his first league goal of the season in the recent match, is expected to lead the attack in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Angers.
Vanderson, along with Jordan Teze, will be unavailable due to suspension.
Angers SCO
Angers broke the duck for their maiden victory of the season with a 4-2 victory against newly promoted Saint-Étienne last Saturday. This marked Les Scoïstes' first win across all competitions since May 2024 and their first time scoring more than three goals in a Ligue 1 game since a 4-1 triumph over Bordeaux in May 2022.
That victory lifted Alexandre Dujeux's side out of the relegation zone, moving them to 15th place, having accumulated seven points through one win, four draws, and four losses from nine matches. Angers, boasting a recent form of draw, loss, draw, draw, win, will face a formidable challenge in extending their three-match unbeaten streak when they take on Monaco.
Les Scoïstes have struggled away from home, remaining winless in their last 19 away games in Ligue 1, with five draws and 14 losses. They risk becoming the first side to endure a 20-game winless run on the road since Lorient had a 28-game streak between November 2020 and February 2022.
Angers are expected to line up in a 4—2—3—1 formation with Ibrahima Niane leading the attack. Meanwhile, Lilian Raolisoa will remain absent due to a suspension after receiving a red card against Marseille earlier this month.
