Prediction published on Feb 26, 2026 7:02 PM by Dario in France - Ligue 1 | Modified on Feb 26, 2026 7:02 PM
The 24th round of Ligue 1 continues with an intriguing clash between AS Monaco and Angers SCO, scheduled for Saturday evening at the Stade Louis-II. The hosts are looking to build on their recent momentum after a strong run of results that has reignited their hopes of breaking into the top four. Following their 2-3 away victory over Lens and a solid 2-2 draw against Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco appear to have rediscovered their attacking rhythm. Meanwhile, Angers travel to the principality sitting comfortably in mid-table, with a healthy cushion above the relegation zone but struggling to find consistency in recent weeks.
AS Monaco have shown significant improvement in recent matches, collecting 10 points from their last four Ligue 1 outings. Their attacking efficiency has been a major factor, averaging 2.0 goals scored per game across their last five fixtures, while conceding 1.6 on average. The team’s resilience was on full display in the comeback win over Lens, where they overturned a two-goal deficit to secure all three points. Currently sitting 8th in the Ligue 1 standings with a record of 10 wins, 4 draws, and 9 defeats, Monaco remain within striking distance of the European qualification spots.
Despite several absentees through injury and suspension, the squad has maintained a strong collective performance. Key figures such as Denis Zakaria and Maghnes Akliouche have stepped up in recent weeks, while Folarin Balogun has been particularly prolific, scoring three times in his last three appearances. The team’s attacking intent is reflected in their recent scoring streak — Monaco have netted at least two goals in each of their last four matches in all competitions. Their home form remains a crucial asset, and they will look to capitalize on it once again against Angers.
Angers SCO approach this fixture from a position of relative comfort, sitting 12th in Ligue 1 with 8 wins, 5 draws, and 10 defeats. Their defensive organization has been commendable, conceding just 1.2 goals per match on average this season. However, their attacking output has been modest, with only 1.0 goal per game and a recent dip in form — two consecutive losses against Lorient (2-0) and Lille (0-1). The team’s last five matches have yielded two wins, one draw, and two defeats, with an average of just 0.4 goals scored and 0.6 conceded per game.
Angers’ away performances have been characterized by low-scoring encounters. In fact, under 1.5 goals have been scored at half-time in each of their last 17 away matches, and at least one team failed to score before the break in 35 of their last 37 fixtures. This pattern suggests a cautious approach, particularly in the early stages of matches. Goalkeeper Hervé Koffi has been a standout performer, providing stability at the back, while midfielders Haris Belkebla and Branco van den Boomen continue to anchor the team’s structure. New signing Goduine Koyalipou is still seeking his first goal for the club after joining during the winter transfer window.
This matchup brings together two sides with contrasting styles and ambitions. Monaco are pushing to rejoin the European qualification race, while Angers are focused on maintaining their mid-table stability. The hosts’ attacking form, led by Balogun’s sharp finishing, contrasts with Angers’ more conservative approach and recent struggles in front of goal. Historically, Monaco have had the upper hand in this fixture, winning three of the last five meetings and averaging 1.4 goals scored per game against the visitors.
Given Monaco’s offensive momentum and Angers’ tendency to be involved in low-scoring first halves, the match could start cautiously before opening up as it progresses. The home side’s superior firepower and recent confidence make them favorites to claim all three points. Angers’ disciplined defense might hold for a while, but sustaining that resistance for 90 minutes at the Stade Louis-II will be a major challenge.
