The Ligue 1 fixture, AS Monaco vs. Angers SCO, kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, May 1, at Stade Louis II.

Ten-man Angers bagged a point in a 2-2 draw against Clermont Foot last weekend at the Stade Gabriel Montpied. The draw leaves SCOA in 14th place on the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 35 points from 8W, 11D, and 15L. The Black and Whites are without a win in five games, having picked up only three points from a possible 15, LDDLD, ahead of this fixture against Monaco. SCOA have hit the back of the net consistently over the course of the season and are looking to do so again when they take on Monaco on Sunday. The club has scored 38 goals in 34 Ligue 1 games, - a goal ratio of 1.12 goals per game. However, Les Noirs et Blancs have conceded 51 goals so far this season and have a G.D. of -13, an average of 1.5 goals per match. Gérald Baticle lined up a 3—1—4—2 with Mohamed-Ali Cho and Fulgini in attack. However, Casimir Ninga is expected to come in for the suspended Mohamed-Ali Cho, who picked up a red card against Clermont Foot.

Angers SCO vs. Paris Saint-Germain kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, April 20, at the Stade Raymond Kopa.

Angers earned a point against FC Nantes over the weekend following a 1-1 draw at the Stade de la Beaujoire. Sofiane Boufal (19') put Angers in the lead after a lofted effort over the goalkeeper inside the first twenty minutes and until the break. But a remarkable header from Coulibaly (53'), seven minutes before the hour mark, left both sides at parity until full-time. The draw leaves SCOA without a victory in three Ligue 1 games, LWLDD, and in 14th place, having picked up 34 points from 8W, 10D, and 14L. An unlikely victory would only be good enough to leave Angers in the same spot on the table, considering an unfavorable negative goal difference of -10, compared to that of 13th-placed Reims [37 points & GD of -1]. The Black and Whites have been able to hit the back of the net at least once over the course of the season and have an average goal ratio of 1.12 GPG this season, having scored 36 goals in 32 Ligue 1 games. The club has an average of 1.44 goals conceded per game, having conceded 46 times. A dynamic 3—5—2 formation is expected from Gérald Baticle for this mid-week clash against PSG. Sofiane Boufal and Angelo Fulgini are expected to return in attack for Wednesday’s game.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Angers SCO vs. LOSC Lille kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 10, at the Stade Raymond Kopa.

Angers failed to earn a point, despite hitting the back of the net twice against Lyon, following last weekend’s 3-2 defeat at the Groupama Stadium. Moussa Dembele (26' & 52') bagged a brace, but goals from Pereira Lage (50') and Sofiane Boufal (59') saw both sides on level terms, before Tete’s 80th-minute goal bagged the winner for Lyon. Angers remain in 14th place and are now looking to return to winning ways, LLLWL, having failed to earn a point on Matchday 30. In total, the club has 32 points from 8W, 8D, and 14L. A victory for SCOA would only be good enough to keep the club in 14th place, as they trail 13th-placed Reims [36 points] by four points. However, it could keep 15th-placed Troyes [32 points] who take on Monaco at bay if the latter comes out on top at the end of their clash on Sunday. Angers have a goal ratio of 1.13 GPG this season, having scored 34 goals in 30 Ligue 1 games, coupled with 44 goals conceded [an average of 1.47 goals conceded per game]. The numbers leave the club with a goal difference of -10. Gérald Baticle could line up the 3—4—1—2 formation with Stéphane Bahoken and Sofiane Boufal in attack. Meanwhile, Jimmy Cabot (sprained ankle) has been ruled out of this weekend’s clash.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Olympique Lyon vs. Angers SCO, kicks off at 16:05 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 3, at the Groupama Stadium.

Angers, on the other hand, picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Brest last time out at the Stade Raymond Kopa. SCOA remains in 14th place, having 32 points from 8W, 8D, & 13L. The victory came after four straight defeats, LLLLW, leaving the club with the objective of picking up back-to-back victories at the end of this clash against Lyon, in what could be the second time this season. Gérald Baticle and Les Noirs et Blancs could line up a dynamic 3—5—2 formation against Lyon, having earned three points against Brest with a similar shape. Stéphane Bahoken and Sofiane Boufal are expected in attack once again. Romain Thomas has accumulated a yellow card suspension, after being booked against Brest on Matchday 29, while Jimmy Cabot remains doubtful for the weekend’s game with a sprained ankle.

The Ligue 1 fixture, Stade Rennais F.C. vs. SCO Angers kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 6, at Roazhon Park.

SCO Angers are coming off five defeats in a row, LLLLL, following last weekend’s 2-1 loss to Lens. Angers finished the game with ten men after Mohamed-Ali Cho [R. 69’] was shown the red card minutes into the second half. Angers are looking to pick up at least a draw in this fixture to halt the steady descent down the table. At the moment, the club sits in 14th place on the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 29 points from 7W, 8D, and 11L. Following five losses in a row, their longest such run since May-August 2018 [also 5], Les Noirs et Blancs are at risk of going six in a row for the very first time in the club’s history. With the back-to-back defeats stacking up, Gérald Baticle could be staring down the gun’s barrel in the not-too-distant future. The club has 31 goals after 26 Ligue 1 games, a ratio of 1.19 goals scored per game. In addition, Les Noirs et Blancs have conceded 38 goals [an average of 1.46 goals per match] so far this season and have a G.D. of -7. On Sunday, Gérald Baticle could appear with the 3—4—1—2 formation, having Bahoken and Boufal in attack for this clash against Stade Rennais. Following last weekend's red, Mohamed-Ali Cho is suspended for this fixture, while Jimmy Cabot is ruled out.

The League of Talents returns with the weekend's debut fixture, the 20th episode of the rivalry between Les Olympiens and Les Noirs et Blancs on Matchday 23. Despite making seven off-the-bench appearances in 21 games, Monaco’s Wissam Ben Yedder [13 goals] overtook Lille’s Jonathan David [12 goals] on Matchday 22 as the league’s top scorer, after netting the opener in Monaco’s 3-2 defeat to Montpellier. Lens’ Jonathan Clauss shares the spotlight with PSG’s Mbappe and Marseille’s Dimitri Payet for the league’s highest number of assists, 9. Meanwhile, Marseille’s Pau López has the highest number of clean sheets, 10. PSG maintains a 13-point lead over OGC Nice at the top of the table, while AS Saint-Étienne is rooted at the bottom with 15 points. The Ligue 1 fixture, Olympique de Marseille vs. Angers SCO, kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Friday, February 4 at the Stade Vélodrome.

Angers picked up a 1-0 defeat to St-Étienne on Ligue 1 Matchday 22 at the Stade Raymond Kopa. An own goal from Batista Mendy (43' O.G.) separated both sides at full-time, leaving Angers in 12th place on the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 29 points from 7W, 8D, & 7L. Les Noirs et Blancs have the form, LLDWL, ahead of this fixture against Marseille, and an unlikely win could see the club sit on the edge of the top-ten if favorable outcomes emerge over the weekend. A dynamic 3—5—2 formation is expected from Gérald Baticle for this fixture against Marseille on Friday. Le SCO could be without as many as six key players for this weekend's fixture.

The mid-week Ligue 1 fixture, SCO Angers vs. AS Monaco, kicks off at 19:00 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, December 1, at the Stade Raymond Kopa.

Angers earned a point in the hard-fought 2-2 draw against RC Lens last Friday at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. A late goal in the first half saw both sides leave the pitch at the break with Angers in the lead. It was the goal by Sofiane Boufal (40’) that separated both sides after the first forty-five. Right after the break, Gael Kakuta (48’) restored parity at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Minutes later, Florian Sotoca (55’) put Lens in the lead after a fantastic finish. However, Romain Thomas (70’) found the leveler with twenty minutes left on the clock to salvage a point for Angers. The draw leaves Angers with 6 points from a possible fifteen after five games: DLDWD. It also leaves the Black and Whites in 6th place, having 22 points after 5W, 7D, and 3L. Gérald Baticle aims for three points against this inconsistent Monaco side to remain within touching distance of RC Lens, who have a much more difficult fixture at the weekend, - against PSG. Focusing on the numbers, Angers have a goal ratio of 1.47 g.p.g. this season, having scored 22 goals in 15 Ligue 1 games. The club has also conceded 18 goals and has a G.D. of +4. An average of 1.2 goals conceded per game. Angers used a 3—5—2 formation with Boufal and Mohamed-Ali Cho in attack in the game against Lens, and could use the same again on Wednesday. Souleyman Doumbia is suspended for this fixture.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, Lille OSC vs. SCO Angers, kicks off at 17:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, November 6, at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Angers picked up a 2-1 defeat to OGC Nice last Sunday on home soil despite having the lead inside the opening 30 minutes, through Sofiane Boufal (29’ P.). A brace from Andy Delort (57’ & 90+1’) was enough to condemn Angers to defeat. The loss saw Angers drop two spots from 6th to 8th place on the Ligue 1 table, as they remained with 17 points from 4W, 5D, & 3L. The club has a form that reads: DWLDL ahead of this Matchday 13 fixture against Lille. Angers have bagged 18 goals over the course of the season, after 12 Ligue 1 games. Having an average of 1.5 goals scored per game, Les Noirs et Blancs have conceded 15 goals (an average of 1.25 goals conceded per match) so far, in the length of the current season, and hence, have a goal difference of +3. Gérald Baticle aims to recover lost points when his side makes its 13th league appearance of the season. Les Noirs et Blancs could appear with the 3—4—1—2 formation once again, having Mohamed-Ali Cho and Sofiane Boufal in attack.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, OGC Nice vs. SCO Angers, kicks off at 13:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, October 31, at Stade Jean-Bouin.

SCO Angers picked up a disappointing 2-2 draw against Saint-Etienne at the Geoffroy-Guichard last Friday, on the 22nd of October. Angers had a two-goal lead before the home side found their way back into the game to see both sides share the spoils at the final whistle. Ismael Traore (28') headed Angers in front before Angelo Fulgini (56') doubled the visiting side’s lead, minutes into the second half after a well-executed counterattack. Five minutes after the goal, Wahbi Khazri (61') reduced St-Etienne's deficit to one with an exquisite free-kick. A calm and composed header from Mickael Nade (90'+4) right at the death saw Angers denied the win. The club remains in 6th place on the Ligue 1 table, having picked up 17 points from 4W, 5D, & 2L. Angers have the form: DDWLD ahead of this weekend's match against OGC Nice. A decent average of 1.55 goals scored per game leaves Angers with 17 goals after eleven Ligue 1 games. Les Noirs et Blancs have conceded 13 goals (1.18 goals-per-match) so far, in the length of the current season, and are left with a goal difference of +4. Gérald Baticle will aim for at least a point when the Eagles come calling at the Stade Jean-Bouin on Sunday. Baticle’s 3—4—1—2 formation could see Sofiane Boufal in attack alongside Stéphane Bahoken once again for this fixture.

The French Ligue 1 fixture, Paris Saint-Germain vs. SCO Angers, kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Friday, October 15 at the Parc des Princes. This will be the 14th episode of their rivalry, dating back to the 1993/94 season.

Angers picked up a hard-fought 3-2 victory over FC Metz on home soil before the break. It was their first victory in five games: DLDDW, and it keeps the club in 4th place with 16 points after 4W, 4D, & 1L. The club has 14 goals after nine Ligue 1 games, an average of 1.56 goals scored per game. Furthermore, Les Noirs et Blancs have conceded 9 goals (1 goal-conceded-per-match) so far and have a goal difference of +5. A point for Gérald Baticle's side would be a fine result ahead of a technically easier fixture against St-Etienne on Matchday 11. Baticle could go with three at the back once again in a 3—4—1—2 formation. The defensive trio will have their worries about trying to keep Mbappe quiet, while Messi, who struck the crossbar with a fine freekick against Rennes, will pose a different kind of threat from set-pieces. Meanwhile, Jimmy Cabot, with four assists, will be aiming for his fifth on Friday.
