Angers: Form and Statistics

Form: LLLDD

Angers kicked off the 2025-26 Ligue 1 season on a positive note by beating newly promoted Paris FC in front of their home crowd. Since that result, it has been an underwhelming display as the home team have now gone six matches without a win, recording two draws and four losses. It is worth noting that they failed to score in any of those defeats, highlighting their struggles in front of goal.

Before the international break, Alexandre Dujeux’s men made the trip to Stade de la Meinau to lock horns with Strasbourg. The outcome was damaging as they were on the wrong end of a 5-0 scoreline. That defeat at the end of the day was deserved, considering they produced an xG of 0.33.

In the aftermath of that result, Le SCO have now lost three consecutive league games, conceding eight goals during this period. Home form has been shaky, with the team navigating two matches without a win.

Angers: Team News

Head coach Alexandre Dujeux will be delighted to know that he has no new injury concerns to be worried about, other than regular Jim Allevinah, who has missed four games for the team because of a calf injury.

Angers are expected to field a strong starting lineup, and some minor changes are to be expected from the side that suffered a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Strasbourg. Prosper Peter, however, will lead the attack as expected this Saturday.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Koffi; Arcus, Camara, Lefort, Ekomie; Belkhdim, Belkebla; Raolisoa, Mouton, Cherif; Peter.

⛔️ Out: Jim Allevinah (calf injury).

👤 Head coach: Alexandre Dujeux.

Monaco: Form and Statistics

Form: DLWWW

The Stade Raymond-Kopa has been Monaco's playground in past meetings. The visitors have avoided defeat at this venue in eight outings, including a four-match winning streak. They'll seek to capitalize on this impressive showing to end a two-match losing streak away from home across all competitions.

The Red and Whites come into this match winless in their last three matches across all competitions. Coming in between those matches was a 2-2 home draw against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. That result extended their winless run in the competition to two games.

In their last league game, Adi Hütter's men could not get the better of ten-man OGC Nice. Defeat, however, was avoided as they snatched a point in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Stade Louis II.

Monaco: Team News

Monaco have been plagued with injuries as they head into Saturday's clash, missing as many as eight players. This includes Lamine Camara (ankle injury), Eric Dier (muscle injury), Lukas Hradecky (knee injury), Denis Zakaria (groin injury), Yanis Benchaouch (injury), Aladji Bamba (hamstring injury), Vanderson (muscle injury), and Christian Mawissa (muscle injury).

After joining the club four months ago on a two-year contract, Paul Pogba has yet to play a single game. The 32-year-old is lacking match fitness and is expected to sit this one out until his imminent return.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-4-2): Kohn; Ouattara, Salisu, Teze, Kehrer; Fati, Coulibaly, Diatta, Akliouche; Golovin, Biereth.

⛔️ Out: Lamine Camara (ankle injury), Eric Dier (muscle injury), Lukas Hradecky (knee injury), Denis Zakaria (groin injury), Yanis Benchaouch (injury), Aladji Bamba (hamstring injury), Vanderson (muscle injury), Christian Mawissa (muscle injury), Paul Pogba (lacking match fitness).

Angers vs Monaco match prediction, 18 October 2025

Little can be expected from Angers this Saturday, given their poor form in the league. The hosts have gone six matches without a win and have lost three matches in a row without scoring a single goal. Their chances of success are slim, and I don't expect much from them other than a convincing defeat.

Monaco have won eight of their last nine meetings against Angers. On paper, the visitors are the better side and should be able to return to winning ways in the league. That said, I'm backing them in the full-time market to secure a comfortable win away from home.
