A few hours before kick-off between AS Monaco and SCO Angers for the 10th day of Ligue 1, discover the figures you need to keep in mind, thanks to data provided by Opta.
Correct the situation as quickly as possible! Having fallen in Nice this Sunday, the Rouge et Blanc intend to make up for it against SCO Angers, this Friday at the Stade Louis-II (7 p.m.). So before the kick-off of this duel at the opening of the 10th day of Ligue 1, discover the pre-match statistics that you must have in mind, thanks to our supplier Opta. ????
007 ????️♂️
AS Monaco remains on seven consecutive victories against Angers in Ligue 1, its longest current run of success against the same opponent in the elite. The SCO has not won against the Rocher club in the championship since September 2018 and a 1-0 success at the Stade Louis-II.
Correct the shot ????
Defeated in Nice (1-2), the Rouge et Blanc could string together two losses in the elite for the first time since the last three days of the 2022-2023 season, in May-June 2023.
I have a lot of respect for this SCO team. Lately they have been on a good run, notably having held off Marseille and Toulouse, before beating Saint-Etienne last weekend. So we must be suspicious and have respect for this formation.
Adi HütterA propos d’Angers
First win ✅
Angers won their first match in Ligue 1 this season on the last day (4-2 against Saint-Etienne) and could string together two victories in the elite for the first time since September 2022 (two).
Fortress ????
AS Monaco have not lost any of their last 11 home games in Ligue 1 (seven wins, four draws), their longest run since December 2017-August 2018 (13), but the most recent was a 0-0 against Lille. By Elsewhere, the Club has not had two goalless draws on its home field in the elite since February-March 2015 (two).
In difficulty ????
Angers remains 19 games without a win away from home in the league (five draws, 14 defeats) and could become the first team to reach 20 games in a row without success away from home in the top flight since Lorient in November 2020-February 2022 (28). The SCO, however, remains on three draws during this series, and has not gone on more trips without defeat in Ligue 1 since October-December 2021 (4).
Off-road ????️
The Principality club performs high-intensity pressing on 56.6% of the balls touched by its opponent, the highest percentage. Only Nice (42.6%) and Reims (45.0%) are behind Angers (46.1%) in this area.
Intensity ????
Angers (191 attempted, 123 successful) and AS Monaco (204 attempted, 143 successful) are the two teams having attempted and made the most tackles in the league this season.
It’s true that we sometimes have to show more calm in certain situations, and not let our emotions take over, as was the case in the Derby, in a necessarily special context. This is work that we must do individually with each player.

Aggression ????
The two teams are also those having played the most duels in Ligue 1 this season, but Adi Hütter’s men display the highest success percentage in the field (52.4% – 535 duels won) while only three teams do less well than Angers (48.9% – 471 duels won).
The coach’s paw ????
Adi Hütter will lead the Rouge et Blanc for the 50th time in all competitions. Of the 25 coaches who reached 49 games in charge of AS Monaco, only Niko Kovac, Lucien Muller and Jean Luciano (30) had won more at this stage than the Austrian (29), while only Claudio Ranieri (5) and Claude Puel (6) had fewer defeats (8).
Symbolic milestone ????
Just like the coach, Eliesse Ben Seghir could also play his 50th match in the colors of AS Monaco this Friday against SCO.
Danger ⚠️
Having scored a goal in each of his last two Ligue 1 matches, Ibrahima Niane could be the first player to score in three consecutive matches with Angers in the elite since Karl Toko-Ekambi in March-April 2018 (three) .
