Monaco was among the best teams in France in recent years. Last season, they finished 2nd but weren't too close to threatening PSG, as they were nine points behind. Still, it was a pretty good result regardless. The Red and Whites continued to play excellent football this year and are in 2nd place with 20 points in nine rounds - just three away from the first-placed PSG. But besides their good start in Ligue 1, they were absolutely great in the Champions League, where they won seven points in three rounds and are currently sitting in 4th place. Still, in the last game, against Nice, they suffered their first loss of the season and will look to bounce back with a win.
Meanwhile, Angers returned to Ligue 1 after spending one season in League 2 and are only looking to survive this season. However, it seems that it will be a challenging task. In the last game against St Etienne, they recorded their first win of the season and are now in 15th place with seven points in nine rounds. Still, the relegation zone is just one point behind, and they need to continue collecting points, but that will be a challenging task to do away from home against one of the best teams in Ligue 1.
Monaco vs Angers pick: Under 3.5 goals
Monaco have been absolutely great for this type of bet, as eight out of nine Ligue 1 games finished with fewer than three goals - 89%. Their defense really excelled, and with only six conceded goals in nine games, they are tied with Lens for the best defensive record in Ligue 1.
On the other hand, if we exclude the last game against St Etienne, where they scored four goals, Angers were terrible offensively. So far, in nine rounds, they scored zero or one goal in eight out of nine games, and it is hard to expect a good performance against the best defensive team in the Ligue 1. Additionally, away from home, Angers were under 2.5 goals in all four matches.
In the previous eight h2h games, we saw fewer than four goals on seven occasions - 87.5%. Considering the previous h2h meetings, Monaco's excellent defensive performances, and Angers' offensive struggles, we believe that an under 3.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Ligue 1 game.

Monaco team news
In the previous game against Nice, right full-back Vanderson received a red card and will be suspended for the Angers game. Considering that their other right full-back is also suspended, we could see Kassoum Ouattara in the starting lineup.
Folarin Balogun, Mamadou Coulibaly, Edan Diop, and Mohammed Salisu, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.

Angers team news
The team is having big injury problems. Six players who missed the previous games should remain sidelined - Sidiki Cherif, Jacques Ekomie, Zinedine Ferhat, Cedric Hountondji, Justin-Noel Kalumba, and Joseph Lopy.
On the positive side, Lilian Rao-Lisoa served his two-game suspension after the red card he received in the Marseille game and will be available. Still, he has mainly been a backup option this season, and we do not expect him in the starting lineup.
