Strasbourg vs Angers Prediction and Betting Tips | February 18th 2023
Strasbourg will host Angers at the Stade de la Meinau on Saturday in another round of Ligue 1 football.
The home side have endured an underwhelming campaign and currently find themselves in the drop zone. They secured a 2-0 win over Montpellier a fortnight ago but soon returned to their old ways, losing 2-0 to Lille last Sunday after a largely disappointing performance that saw them fail to hit the target throughout the game.
Strasbourg sit 17th in the league table with just 18 points from 23 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Saturday.
Angers have not fared much better than their weekend opponents this season and are now staring down the relegation barrel. They played out a 1-1 home draw against newly-promoted Auxerre in their last league outing and were perhaps fortunate to pick up the sole point as their opponents squandered a last-minute penalty kick.

Strasbourg vs Angers Prediction
Strasbourg have lost three of their last four league games and have won just two of their last 14 games across all competitions. They, however, picked up a 2-0 win over Montpellier in their last game at the Stade de la Meinau to record their first home win of the season and will hope to build on that this weekend.
Angers are without a win in their last 15 Ligue 1 matches, with 13 of those games ending in defeat. They have lost six of their last seven away league games and could see defeat here as well.
Prediction: Strasbourg 1-0 Angers
