Strasbourg have risen under Liam Rosenior, breaking records last season and securing European qualification. The team began their Europa Conference League campaign with a 2-1 win at Slovan Bratislava and have won three of their last four matches across competitions despite a 2-1 league loss to Marseille. Strasbourg scored in an action-packed 3-2 victory over Paris FC but need defensive stability, registering just one clean sheet in six outings. Angers sit in contrast, struggling for goals and results, suffering consecutive defeats including a 2-0 home loss to Brest, failing to win in five matches and posing relegation concerns.
"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."
"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."
