Angers host Monaco at the Stade Raymond Kopa in Ligue 1 on Wednesday, with both sides having similar seasons so far.
Angers are currently sixth in the league, four points off Marseille in fourth. Gerald Baticle's side have faltered of late and have only won one of their last five games. They will look to turn things around with a win against Monaco.
Monaco, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions. Niko Kovac's side are currently ninth in the league, two points behind their opposition. They hope to extend their streak with a win against Angers on Wednesday.
Both sides will want to win the game for different reasons and that should make for a well-contested matchup.
