Angers vs Strasbourg Prediction and Betting Tips

Strasbourg will look to take a giant stride in their push for UEFA Champions League qualification as they take on Angers in round 33 of Ligue 1 on Saturday. Alexandre Dujeux’s men have lost their last three home games against Strasbourg and will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell.

Angers picked up three huge points in their battle for survival as they edged out Nantes 1-0 at the Stade de la Beaujoire courtesy of a second-half strike from Jim Allevinah.

Before that, Dujeux’s side suffered consecutive defeats against OGC Nice and LOSC Lille, and had lost eight of their previous nine outings across all competitions.

Angers have picked up 33 points from their 32 Ligue 1 matches so far to sit 14th in the standings, two points above 16th-placed Le Havre in the relegation playoff spot.

Strasbourg, on the other hand, maintained their blistering late-season form as they secured a 2-1 victory over crowned champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade de la Meinau last time out.

Liam Rosenior’s men are now 12 straight games without defeat, picking up nine wins and three draws since a 2-0 loss against Angers in the Coupe de France on February 5.

With 57 points from 32 matches, Strasbourg are currently sixth in the Ligue 1 table but could potentially surge into second place with all three points at the Stade Raymond Kopa this weekend.
