Bitesize Prediction: Strasbourg vs Angers – 05/10/25

Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Strasbourg win

Odds: 7/10 @ BetUS

Turning their attention back to Ligue 1 action on Sunday afternoon, Strasbourg will welcome Angers to the Stade de la Meinau.

Starting with the hosts, while some around the Stade de la Meinau might have been shocked last summer following Liam Rosenior’s arrival, Strasbourg have embarked on a sensational rise under the former Hull City boss. Breaking a string of records last season as they booked a famous European ticket, Le Racing find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Getting. Their iconic Europa Conference League adventure underway with a 2-1 victory away at Slovan Bratislava earlier in the week, Rosenior’s camp will be excited to make a return to Alsace here. Despite being last seen in domestic action falling to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Marseille, Strasbourg have won each of their other three appearances across all competitions. However, despite clinching an action-packed 3-2 victory against Ligue 1 newcomers Paris FC on September 21st, Sunday’s hosts know the importance of finding some defensive stability. Heading into September’s fortnight interval with a dramatic 3-2 defeat against Monaco, Le Racing have mustered just a sole clean sheet from their previous six outings.

As for the visitors, although Angers might have managed to keep hold of their Ligue 1 status last season, it appears that Alexandre Dujeux’s men have a real battle on their hands this time around. Last seen putting in another downbeat display as they slumped to a routine 2-0 defeat at home against Brest, Les Scoistes are regarded as a standout relegation contender this year. Hit with consecutive Ligue 1 losses over the past fortnight, Sunday’s hosts have also failed to win any of their previous five straight appearances. Likewise, notching just a pair of top-flight strikes since the opening weekend, Dujeux’s side look set for what will be another stern examination here. Continuing on from last season, Angers have continued to show some glaring issues on the road. In fact, the relegation candidates have managed to clinch just a single Ligue 1 victory away from the Stade Raymond Kopa since the middle of February.
