Strasbourg
Strasbourg finished last season in fifteenth position. This was a good result for them, although, in the last part of the season, they were somewhat inconsistent.
In pre-season, Strasbourg played six games, winning only two, against Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt.
In their two matches last season against Angers, Strasbourg recorded a draw and a 2-0 win.
Angers
Angers finished the previous season in thirteenth position, two points above Strasbourg, although, like their next opponents, they also had a weaker end to the season.
The previous season, out of 19 away games, Angers won only six. The squad remains largely unchanged, so this could still be their biggest weakness.
Angers also conceded the sixth most goals last season, with 58 goals in 38 matches.

Strasbourg vs Angers Predictions
It is the first official match of the season for both teams. Generally speaking, the two sides are very similar; the collective quality of the two teams is evenly matched and they both will have similar objectives for the season. As it is the first game, we don’t expect either side to be at their best level, and a draw is a likely result.
