Match preview: Angers vs Montpellier
Angers and Montpellier will clash at Stade Raymond Kopa for the 29th round of Ligue 1. In the previous encounter in this league edition on 12 January 2025, Angers SCO emerged victorious with a score of 3-1. The historical record at this stadium favours the home side, boasting 2 wins and 1 draw from the last 3 meetings. Furthermore, the last time they met here was on 11 September 2022, where Angers managed a 2-1 victory. The goals came from S. Boufal (69′) and A. Hunou (9′) for Angers and A. Nordin (7′) for Montpellier. The home advantage may be significant, considering both teams exhibit notable disparities in their home and away performances.
Team analysis: Angers
Currently in 14th position with 27 points, Angers has experienced 7 wins, 6 draws, and 15 losses. In their latest outing, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Paris Saint Germain, following a 0-3 home loss to Rennes. Interestingly, Angers has seen better results when playing away, with their last 30 matches yielding 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses as visitors compared to merely 3 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses at home. In their recent 10 home matches in the league, they have accumulated 10 points from a possible 30. Defensively, they have struggled, conceding goals in 9 of their last 10 games, while their attack has faltered, failing to score in 7 of those matches. Trends indicate a high-scoring tendency in their home games, with 13 of their last 14 league matches finishing with over 1.5 goals. Remarkably, in 28 league matches thus far, they have never managed to turn the score around after conceding first in the 19 occasions this has occurred. Notably, 6 of their 14 home goals were scored in the closing minutes (76’–90′).
After a 1-0 defeat at PSG, Angers will be looking to rebound, marking their fifth consecutive loss in the league. The team usually sets up in a 5-3-2 formation, with Esteban Lepaul and Farid El Malali leading the attack. When opting for offensive play, they often exploit the right flank through Lilian Raolisaa. The side will be missing several players due to injuries, including Haris Belkebla, Cédric Hontandji, Sidiki Chérif, and Emmanuel Biumla.
Team analysis: Montpellier
Montpellier finds itself in 18th position with 15 points, having achieved 4 wins, 3 draws, and 20 losses. Their latest match ended in a 0-2 defeat at home to Le Havre, following a 0-1 loss to Auxerre away. Their performance as visitors has been significantly weaker, recording only 1 win and 14 losses in their last 30 games. In the last 10 matches away from home in the league, Montpellier has garnered just 3 points, managing 1 win and facing 9 defeats. Their games often feature common results, with many matches ending 0-0 at half-time (6 out of 13 games) and finishing 0-1 (5 out of 13 games). Defensive frailty has been a persistent issue, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 10 outings, while their attack has also struggled, failing to score in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. Notably, in 8 of their last 13 away matches, there were fewer than 3 goals scored. Montpellier also rarely opens the scoring, having only managed to do so in 2 of their last 27 Ligue 1 matches.
Montpellier’s latest defeat against Le Havre marked the eighth loss in this league campaign. Their new coach, Zoumana Camara, is likely to implement a 4-3-3 formation, with Wahbi Khazri, Tanguy Coulibaly, and Andy Delort leading the line. Téji Savanier will be pivotal in midfield, responsible for orchestrating offensive moves and creating goal-scoring opportunities. Bamo Meïé will be unavailable for this match due to suspension.
