Preview
Strasbourg have been showing good results under new coach Rosenior, although they have defensive problems. The team started the season with four points from three matches, but the latest defeat to Lyon (3:4) after they led leaves questions about the defense. However, Strasbourg are considered favorites in the upcoming match, given their recent victories over Angers in the 2022/23 season and the home advantage.
Angers, who returned to Ligue 1 after a short stay in Ligue 2, have so far failed to earn a single point. Three opening defeats to strong teams - Lens, Lille and Nice - confirm the team's difficulties in the top flight. Despite a difficult schedule, Angers' problems are evident, especially in the game against Nice, where even a numerical advantage could not prevent a rout. However, the match against Strasbourg could be a chance for Angers to at least cling to a draw given their away struggles.
Strasbourg will be looking to exploit the visitors' weaknesses and consolidate their position in mid-table, while any point away from home would be a good result for Angers.
