Monaco
It seems that Monaco is starting to tire and struggling with the workload. Over the past two months, the team has played ten matches, and the confident play has been replaced by setbacks. Initially, it was just a series of draws, but in the last round, the Monegasques lost to Nice. The result of that match was significantly impacted by Vanderson’s red card in the first half, but the overall physical condition of the squad is currently lacking.
On a positive note, there have been no changes in the injury list over the past few days. Defender Salisu, midfielders Koulibaly and Diop, as well as forward Balogun are still injured. This list has not expanded further.

Angers
Angers had a crucial breakthrough in the ninth round of Ligue 1: the team achieved its first victory of the season. This was necessary, as without such successes, they would struggle to escape from last place. However, by defeating Saint-Étienne 4-2, the “Black and Whites” even managed to climb out of the relegation zone. Nevertheless, the team has plenty of problems, so it’s certainly too early to celebrate.
Angers is facing serious issues with their squad, and one of the main reasons for their poor start to the season is the high number of injuries. This includes defenders Ekong and Unthondji, midfielders Sheriff and Lopi, as well as forwards Kalumba and Ferhat. Another defensive player, Rao-Lisoa, is missing his third match due to suspension.
