Strasbourg vs Angers Prediction 5 February 2025

🔊 Is Angers in good enough form to aim for a quarterfinal spot? In the Round of 16 of the French Cup, the "black and whites" will visit Strasbourg. The current form of both teams can be considered good, with noticeable progress in results. Therefore, both are ready to compete for a ticket to the quarterfinals. Our editorial team evaluated their chances of success and prepared its prediction.

📊 H2H

Strasbourg holds a slight advantage in head-to-head meetings, winning four of the last ten games. During this time, Angers managed to win three times. Goals are rare in these matches - fewer than three goals were scored in seven of the last ten encounters. So, you can bet on Total goals under 2.5.

⚪ Strasbourg

Strasbourg's path to the Round of 16 of the French Cup was too easy. Calais (0:3) and Thaon (2:2, 5:3 pens) are not competitors for such a team. Currently, they are a solid mid-table team in Ligue 1, also in good form. Before losing to Rennes (0:1) in the last round, Strasbourg was unbeaten in eight matches, winning six of them.

⚫ Angers

The growth pace of Angers has slightly decreased, as the "black and whites" stumbled against Lens (0:1) and Le Havre (1:1) in the last couple of rounds. This was preceded by a series of five consecutive victories, so now the team can pose a threat to many opponents. However, even so, the club could easily leave Ligue 1, as they have only reached the 15th position in the standings.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

The secret to Angers' success in recent matches was reliable defense. In only one out of seven cases did the "black and whites" concede more than one goal. Therefore, it's worth betting on Strasbourg's individual total goals under 1.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

The teams have some of the worst stats in Ligue 1. Set pieces are relatively rare in their matches, with an average of 7.8 and 7.2 corners respectively. We suggest relying on this statistic and betting on Total corners under 9.5.

📝 Match Prediction

In the match-up between the 9th and 15th places in Ligue 1, preference can be given to the team with more stable results. Angers has indeed looked good lately, but Strasbourg faced much tougher opponents in previous rounds. And even there, the team looked confident. We believe that Strasbourg will win with a score of 1:0.

However, the "black and whites" should not allow their opponent much freedom. Angers' defense looks quite reliable, and Fofana often delivers outstanding performances, repeatedly saving his goal. Therefore, we advise betting on Total goals under 2.5.
