Angers preview: Lost their opening three
Angers have faced a very tough start to the season but will still be disappointed not to have secured a single point from their opening three fixtures.
Le SCO began the campaign at home to Lens, losing 1-0, then suffered a 2-0 defeat at Lille before returning home to face Nice where they were thrashed 4-1.
Sunday's hosts will be without a trio of midfielders for the trip to Strasbourg as Joseph Lopy, Jim Allevinah and Justin-Noel Kalumba all have injuries.
Predicted lineup: Fofana (GK), Bamba, Hountondji, Lefort, Arcus, Ekomie, Aholou, Abdelli, Belkhdim, El Melali & Cherif

Player to watch: Andrey Santos
Andrey Santos featured 11 times in Ligue 1 for Strasbourg last season, scoring one goal, and the Brazilian clearly did enough to earn a second loan spell with the French outfit.
The Chelsea loanee has made an impressive start to his second season in Ligue 1
The young midfielder's second season in France has gotten off to a bang with Santos scoring two goals in his two appearances against Rennes and Lyon after missing out on Strasbourg's opening game against Montpellier.
We're backing the former Vasco de Gama midfielder to put in another high-quality performance for Strasbourg this weekend, one that will help guide his team to their second win of the season.
