Match Preview
Strasbourg will host Angers SCO at the Stade de la Meinau on Sunday, 5 October, as both teams seek to improve their standing in Ligue 1. Strasbourg's recent form has been troubling, with just one win in their last five matches (DWLLL), highlighting defensive vulnerabilities that have seen them concede goals consistently. In contrast, Angers arrives with a strong run of five consecutive victories (LWWWW), showcasing their attacking prowess and solidifying their position in the league.
A key angle to consider is Angers' impressive away form, having won five of their last six encounters on the road. This trend could prove pivotal against a Strasbourg side struggling for consistency. Historically, matches between these two have often been competitive, with Angers holding a slight edge in their last ten meetings (5 wins to 2). With both teams capable of finding the net—evidenced by five matches ending with both teams scoring in their recent head-to-heads—this fixture could see plenty of action. Expect Angers to leverage their current momentum to secure a vital away win.
