In the current season of the championship of France Monaco has taken part in six matches, having won only the first of them – 3:1 with Nantes. In the following five matches the team of Leonardo Jardim has won only three points owing to what the lag from the Euro Cup 4 teams is only five points.
We will note that on Friday for the first time Alexander Golovin, the Russian midfielder who has completely recovered from injury has appeared on the field.
Angers
Stefan Mulen’s team on Saturday hosted Toulouse. The team’s ball possession was (40%), but the football players much more often (16-7) and more precisely (4-0) shot at the goal. However despite Traoré’s advantage the team has gained only one point – 0:0.
In general Angers is in good fit. In the last three matches these football players have managed to win seven points, having won over Lille at home(1:0) and have one away match over Dijon (3:1). Three starting matches have been lost.
Thus, in standings Angers is above the closest opponent, being ahead of it with one point.
Head-to heads
Three last matches of these teams which have taken place on the territory of Monegasques have ended with the victory of the latter. Angers celebrated success on the territory of the Red and Whites in 2011 – 3:1 in frames of one of the matches of Ligue 2.

Match prediction
The Red and Whites experience bad times. However considering that Golovin in whom Leonardo Jardim believes has returned and also the fact that the native field of Monegasques will support them, we think, that from the sixth attempt Falcao and the company after all will win three points. Besides, the history of head-to-heads speaks in favor of the hosts.
