Angers will be playing hosts to Monaco who’ve recently registered back-to-back wins against Amiens and Toulouse in Ligue 1. Angers, on the contrary, have lost successive games to Marseille and Rennes. With that being said both sides are currently on level terms in terms of points and a win for either team could propel them into the top six from mid-table.
Date- Sunday, December 15 | Kick-Off- 12:30 AM (IST) | Venue- Stade Jean-Bouin
Angers
Wilfrid Kanga and Casimir Ninga are ruled out due to injuries. Manceau, Traore, Pellenard could fit in defence, while Nouri could replace Thomas who had a disappointing game versus Rennes. Santamaria is likely to feature in at central midfield/ Capelle, Fulgini and Mangani could come in at advanced positions, whereas Alioui should start up top for the visitors.
Monaco
Islam Slimani will have to wait on the sidelines for another game due to suspension. Willem Geubbels, Stevan Jovetic and Henry Onyerku will also miss out due to injuries for the visitors. With that being said, Dias, Glik, Jemerson and Maripan should feature as the back four. Bakayoko and Golovin are likely to accommodate central midfield. Keita, Martins and Cesc Fabregas are to be put in at advanced roles, while Ben Yedder leads the line of attack.
