Strasbourg vs Angers Prediction & Betting tips
The seasonally performing RC Strasbourg this season takes on Saturday night against the disappointing Angers this season. Will there be a tie between the two teams for the fourth time in a row, or will a winner finally arrive?
RC Strasbourg:
RC Strasbourg performs well above expectations this season with 35 points after 22 games, a huge improvement compared to the total number of points of only 38 from last season after 38 matches. In the last nine games, only Paris Saint-Germain was lost in the Coupe de France, but in the competition the previous four games were won and in between the final of the Coupe de la Ligue was also achieved. Late last month, Le Racing played no less than twice within five days against Girondins de Bordeaux and won both in the semi-final of the Coupe de la Ligue and in the competition, making Thierry Laurey’s team a serious candidate this season. seems to be going for European football.
Stefan Mitrovic is this season an undisputed certainty in the heart of Laurey’s defense team, but remarkably enough the statistics also speak to the Serb. In the four games this season that the Serbian defender lacked, there was won from top clubs like Lille and Olympique Marseille and also against Stade Rennais (4-1 victory) and Paris Saint-Germain (1-1 draw) excellent results were achieved. Nonetheless, the Serbian against Angers will most likely just be in the base, because when he comes to the finish, he remains the least passable defender of his team.
Angers:
With a 1-0 home win against Dijon, Angers managed to book the sixth victory of the season last weekend. A goal from Stéphane Bahoken turned out to be worth the gold for the team of Stéphane Moulin who seems to avoid relegation this season without too much effort, but the season of Les Scoists is certainly not too good. Especially in away games, Moulin’s team has a hard time this season with as yet only victories on visits to Dijon and Monaco, but also four defeats. Of the last five away games, no less than four games were tied, three of which even ended in 0-0.
This brings us immediately to the big problem of Angers this season: the lack of scoring power. In 23 games only 24 was scored (average 1.04 goal per game). Top striker Stéphane Bahoken has reached his level in recent weeks, which means that he has already equaled his personal record of seven goals in a season after 22 games. Besides Bahoken, Angers has no goal goal in the team, unless captain and defender Ismaël Traoré is taken into consideration. The defender, however, has been injured since the beginning of this year and has not scored since the end of October.
