Strasbourg vs Angers Prediction & Betting Tips (15 September)

Strasbourg was not far from making a titanic coup against Lyon just before the break at Groupama Stadium. While the Alsatians led 3 goals to 1 at the hour mark, they suffered a real comeback for a disastrous final score of 4-3 defeat. The locals in the evening were very close to remaining undefeated since during the first two days, the residents of Meinau had grabbed the point of the draw on the Montpellier lawn 1-1 before beating Rennes at home who had just beaten the OL 3-1. There are still positive points to highlight for Racing who scored at least once in their first three matches, even better, they already have 7 goals in 3 matches. In the ranking, at the start of this J4, Strasbourg occupied 9th place.

Relegated then promoted, Angers is going through a chaotic start to the season having lost its first three matches for the reception of Lens 0-1, on the lawn of Lille 2-0 and a slap received by Nice at home during the previous day 1-4 while the GYM were reduced to ten in the 65th minute. A start to the season to forget and we hope for the SCO that the international break will have allowed it to work to wake up or risk already being in great danger. Note that the Angevins are not alone in this shortage, since their promotion friends from AS Saint-Étienne have still not taken the slightest point as well.

Affiliated with Chelsea, Strasbourg receives and sees players leave for London. Given the number of players Chelsea have in their ranks, there is no doubt that the loans will never stop. Furthermore, Petrovic, Wiley Caleb, and Audrey Santos arrived on loan while the Portuguese Diego Moleiro was transferred from Chelsea. Following Bordeaux's loss of professional status, goalkeeper Johnsson signed freely for the club this summer while Nanasi (6 goals, 10 assists with Malmö in 17 appearances) signed alongside Mamadou Sarr (Lyon), and Sekou Mara (Southampton). The French U17 international, Rayane Messi does not get any playing time unlike the young midfielder Felix Lemarchal (Monaco, 21 years old). More or less important last season depending on their status, Aboubacar (Nîmes, loan), Nordine (Amiens), Perrin (Hambourg), Nzingoula (Montpellier), Guilbert (Lecce) and Deminguet (Metz) left the club this summer in the same way as Gameiro (free). Rookie Oscar Perea did not participate in the previous day in Lyon (glitch) in the same way as Delaine, Moise Dion (3 goals last season) and Lukovic (18 years old) a priori not on the coach's shelves. Author of 2 goals in 3 matches, Emegha seems to be the main offensive threat of this squad but as announced above, ultra-prolific with Malmö in the Swedish championship, Nanasi will be one to watch (1 goal in 2 appearances).

In Angers, we didn't break the bank this summer and that's also one of the reasons why the start of the season is complicated. Indeed, the disappointing Bamba Dieng (Lorient, loan), Haris Belkebla (Ohod), the Bordelais Biumla and Ekomie arrived free as did Allevinah (Clermont, Gabonese international) or even Arcus (Vitesse, Netherlands), and Aholou ( Strasbourg). In terms of departures, three of them were free from any contract, like Boutera (sporadic), Aleks (Montenegrin U19 international) and Jakolis. Yan Valery was transferred to Sheffield Wed. Author of 15 goals in Ligue 2, Lois Diony did not participate in the two previous L1 posters (a priori injured). Note the injuries to Allevinah, Kalumba, and Lopy.
