Match Preview
The upcoming Ligue 1 match between Angers and Monaco on March 15, 2025, promises to be an intriguing encounter. Angers, currently sitting 13th in the league standings with 27 points, faces a significant challenge against Monaco, who are positioned 4th with 44 points. Monaco’s recent form has been inconsistent, but they have shown resilience, particularly in away matches, where they remain undefeated in their last seven encounters against Angers in Ligue 1.
Angers, on the other hand, are struggling with a poor home record, having lost 58% of their home games this season.
