Team Analysis
Monaco has had a solid start to the season, although they recently suffered their first defeat against Nice. The team, led by Adolph Hütter, has been experiencing some fatigue due to a packed schedule, with ten matches played over the past two months. Despite this setback, Monaco remains strong, especially at home, where they haven't seen any recent additions to their injury list. Key players such as Salisu, Koulibaly, Diop, and Balogun continue to be sidelined, but the team is expected to bounce back and maintain their championship aspirations.

Angers, on the other hand, achieved their first victory of the season by defeating Saint-Etienne, which helped them move out of the relegation zone. However, the team is still grappling with significant squad issues, including numerous injuries and a suspension. Key absentees include defenders Ekomi and Untondji, midfielders Cherif and Lopi, and forwards Kalumba and Ferhat. Defensive player Rao-Lisoa is also missing his third consecutive match. These challenges have contributed to their struggles this season.

Head-to-Head
Monaco has been dominant in their recent encounters with Angers, boasting seven wins in the last ten matches and currently on a seven-match winning streak against them.

Prediction
Given the current form and historical dominance, Monaco is heavily favored to win this match. Angers' defensive vulnerabilities and injury troubles make it difficult for them to challenge the hosts. Monaco is expected to exploit these weaknesses and secure a decisive victory. The prediction suggests Monaco will score over 1.5 goals and earn more than 5.5 corners. The match is likely to end with a 2-0 victory for Monaco, and they are expected to win with a handicap of -1.5.

Pick: Monaco -1.5
