A significant disadvantage for the team against Monaco
The SCO is moving to the Principality this Sunday. A meeting that seems unbalanced on paper but also in the statistics. Indeed, the Angevins are on a very negative dynamic against their future opponent.
The Angevin club is in very bad shape at the start of the season, 20th after twelve days, the worst defense in Ligue 1 with already 29 conceded goals and a dynamic of 4 consecutive defeats, the situation is urgent. To make matters worse, the red lantern moves to a serious contender for the final podium who, despite a sluggish dynamic, hopes to make up for his last poor performance with a benchmark victory. A confrontation that comes at a more than inopportune time for Blacks and Whites as four direct competitors face each other in fear matches on Sunday : AJ Auxerre-AC Ajaccio (1 p.m.) and Stade Brestois-Stade de Reims (3 p.m.). It will therefore be necessary to surpass themselves for the men of Gérald Baticle to hope not to be left behind.
A frightening statistic
It has now been seven consecutive games since Angers beat AS Monaco. Worse still, out of these 7 matches, Angers only managed to hold their own against Monaco twice, it was… at the Raymond-Kopa stadium. These 3 defeats in a row at the Stade Louis II could weigh in the minds of players already alerted to the worrying situation of the club in a year with four descents. It will also be necessary to monitor the fate of the SCO coach at the end of this match. before the World Cup break which could push the leaders to bring in a new coach to inject a positive dynamic during this break which few club players will be concerned with except Sofiane Boufal or even Azzedine Ounahi and Yan Valery.
The task does not look easy for the club with the diamond as a crest which will have to face a record-breaking Wissam Ben Yedder and Monegasques frustrated with the draw conceded in Budapest on Thursday. SCO supporters could know about their nugget hatching for all to see, Amine Salama still scorer in their last defeat against Rennes.
