Monaco vs Angers prediction 28.02.2026 | Ligue 1

Monaco’s 2025/26 Ligue 1 campaign currently sees them sitting in eighth position, although a couple of wins could potentially lift them back into the top six and re-establish them as contenders for European qualification next season. Les Rouge et Blanc crashed out of the Champions League on Wednesday after drawing 2-2 in the second leg against their Ligue 1 rivals PSG, with the tie ending 5-4 in favour of the reigning Champions League winners on aggregate.

The Principality club’s creative output is led by Ansu Fati, who has scored eight goals in 15 league appearances, making him the club’s top scorer despite injury interruptions this season. Folarin Balogun has also contributed, with five goals, while midfielder Maghnes Akliouche has added four goals and multiple assists, providing balance in the final third.

Recent Ligue 1 form has been patchy but with noteworthy results; Monaco produced a thrilling 3-2 comeback win against league leaders Lens, with Fati scoring the decisive goal after coming off the bench.

Angers have experienced a mixed Ligue 1 season as well. They sit close to Monaco in the table with 29 points from 23 matches, reflecting competitive results against mid-table opposition. Their most recent clash with Monaco ended in a 1-1 draw, illustrating their ability to frustrate higher-profile opponents. However, their last two Ligue 1 outings ended in defeats to Lille and Lorient, with Angers failing to score on both occasions.

Forward Sidiki Cherif is among Angers’ notable attacking contributors, with goals that have helped secure points despite the side’s generally modest scoring totals. Other contributors include Prosper Peter and Yassin Belkhdim, though no Angers player has reached double-digit goals so far this campaign.
