Strasbourg vs Angers prediction: Le Racing to march to victory
Key stats
- Strasbourg have won and lost two of their last four Ligue 1 games.
- Le Racing are winless in three of their last five competitive home matches.
- Angers have kept one clean sheet across their last eight league outings.
- Les Scoistes are winless in five consecutive Ligue 1 games (D2, L3).
Correct score prediction: Strasbourg 2-0 Angers
Strasbourg’s perfect start to the league campaign has recently shown cracks, although they came out with flying colours in their opening UEFA Conference League game against Slovan Bratislava. A 2-1 defeat to Marseille last time out provided a setback, but Liam Rosenior’s team now have the chance to return to winning ways in front of their supporters.
Angers, meanwhile, are on a poor five-match winless run and have scored just thrice all season. Under Alexander Dujeux, the visitors have registered the fewest touches in the opposition box (89) in the division – a telling statistic that highlights their lack of cutting edge against a Strasbourg defense ranks among the league’s top five.
Given Strasbourg’s attacking threat and Angers’ continued struggles, the hosts are strongly fancied to claim all three points on home turf.

Angers preview: Clean bill of health
Other than Jim Allevinah, Dujeux arrives in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes with a fully fit squad.
Predicted lineup: Koffi (GK), Arcus, Camara, Lefort, Ekomie, Belkhdim, Belkelba, Abdelli, Kalumba, Mouton, Cherif & Peter
Last five matches:

Player to watch: Joaquin Panichelli
With Emegha expected to sit this one out, Panichelli will be counted upon by Rosenior to set things straight in attack. The Argentine prodigy has three goals to his name already, as he sits alongside the league’s top scorers after six rounds. Angers are the perfect opponent for him to find his feet again, after firing back-to-back blanks against Marseille and Paris FC respectively.
