Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Monaco and Angers face each other at Stade Louis II in the opening match of the Ligue 1 round 10. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Nice, but they will have to do it without suspended duo Jordan Teze – Vanderson. The likes of Mohammed Salisu, Folarin Balogun, and Edan Diop remain in the recovery room, while Morocco rising start Eliesse Bn Seghir should be recalled to the starting XI.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-2 win over St Etienne. Angers finally got their first win of the season, but given their four-game losing run at Stade Louis II, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Monaco. To make things even worse for the away side, midfielder Lilian Raolisoa misses out through suspension, while the likes of Jacques Ekomie, Cedric Houtondji, Zinedine Ferhat, Sidiki Cherif, and Joseph Lopy remain in the treatment room.
