Prediction: 2-4
Monaco
Angers and Monaco go head to head at Stade Raymond-Kopa in what is a very important game for the visiting side. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Lens and Montpellier and they must win this game if they are to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Even though both Breel Embolo and Malang Sarr remain in the recovery room, away win should be considered as Angers are having a season to forget.
Les Scoistes have collected only 14 points in total this season and, as a result, they will compete in the Ligue 2 next term. Since the rock-bottom side are on a three-game losing run in the national championship, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Champions League-chasing visitors. To make things even worse for the home side, their injury list is pretty long.
Highlighted Player (Wissam Ben Yedder):
Wissam Ben Yedder was born in Sarcelles, France on 12 August, 1990, but he has yet to make his France debut at senior level. The 170-cm-tall striker, though, played three games for France U21 team and he made two appearances for France Futsal team as well.
Ben Yedder began his club career at UJA Alfortville and he moved to Toulouse in 2010. After scoring 63 goals in 156 league appearances for les Pitchouns, the pacey attacker joined La Liga side Sevilla on 30 July, 2016. Wissam Ben Yedder made his Sevilla debut on 14 August, 2016 in a 2-0 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. The former Toulouse forward scored his first goal in the Spanish top flight in Sevilla’s 6-4 win over Espanyol in the opening match of the 2016/2017 season.
Ben Yedder started his youth career at Garges-les-Gonesse and he played for the Saint-Denis at the start of his football career as well. You should bear in mind that Ben Yedder is Toulouse’s best scorer of the 21st century.
Highlighted Team (Angers):
French Football Federation was founded in 1919, with French football club Angers being founded the same year. Les Scoistes returned to the French top flight at the end of the 2014/2015 season and they finished the 2015/2016 Ligue 1 campaign in ninth place in the standings.
Angers were having their ups and downs in the 2016/2017 season and, as a result, they finished 12th.
