Strasbourg vs Angers Prediction and Betting Tips | September 15th 2024

Strasbourg welcome Angers to the Stade de la Meinau for a Ligue 1 game this Sunday. After three games in the 2024-25 season, these sides have enjoyed contrasting fortunes.

Strasbourg sit right in the middle of the table in ninth place after winning, losing and drawing one game. Angers, on the other hand, have lost all three of their matches thus far.

So, can Angers arrest this slump this weekend, or will Strasbourg ensure their early problems continue?

Strasbourg vs Angers Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Recent league games between these sides have tended to favor Strasbourg. They have won their last three meetings with Angers in the league, although Angers have picked up two victories at the Stade de la Meinau dating back to 2021.
• Strasbourg's last match was arguably the best game of the current Ligue 1 season thus far. They lost 4-3 to Lyon in a genuine thriller that saw them take a 3-1 lead before collapsing midway through the second half.
• Perhaps the most disturbing thing about Angers' poor start to the campaign is the fact that they have only scored one goal. Even that came from the penalty spot against a 10-man Nice who then beat them 1-4.
• Along with Saint-Etienne, who currently prop up the bottom of the table, Angers are one of the only Ligue 1 sides to lose all three of their opening matches in the current season.
• Strasbourg's relationship with Premier League side Chelsea has been somewhat of a controversial one at times, but their loan of Blues player Andrey Santos has paid off so far this season. The Brazilian already has two goals to his name in the opening three games.

Strasbourg vs Angers Prediction

Despite losing their last game to Lyon, Strasbourg are likely to come into this game with a lot of confidence. Not only have they been relatively free-scoring this season, but they are up against a weak opponent in Angers.

Angers have looked terrible thus far in the opening part of the season, and worryingly, they look toothless in front of goal.

Given Strasbourg's home advantage, it's hard to see Liam Rosenior's side coming away with anything but three points this weekend.

Prediction: Strasbourg 2-0 Angers
