Angers vs Strasbourg: Ligue 1 Prediction (11.05.2025)

On May 11, 2025 at 02:00 WIB, a Ligue 1 Matchday 33 fixture between Angers and Strasbourg will take place at the Raymond Kopa Stadium. The match holds different significance for both teams: the hosts are fighting for survival, while the visitors are chasing a spot in European competitions. Strasbourg is seen as the favorite by bookmakers. Let’s take a look at the current form of both sides and provide our prediction for the game.

Angers

The “black and whites” are enduring a difficult season and are currently in 14th place with just two rounds to go. However, they are only two points clear of the relegation play-off zone (16th place), meaning they have not yet secured their place in France’s top division. In their last five matches, Angers recorded two wins and three losses. Their home form has also been poor: only 4 wins from 16 matches, with a goal difference of 16:32. In their last five home games, they have won only once and lost four times.

In their most recent game against Nantes (1-0), Angers earned a vital three points away from home, which slightly boosted team morale. Still, it’s worth noting that they will face Lyon in the final match of the season, and desperately need to pick up points now.

Strasbourg

Liam Rosenior’s side is fighting for a place in European competitions and is in excellent form. With two matches remaining, Strasbourg is in 6th place and only behind Lille and Nice on goal difference. This means the battle for a Champions League spot is still very much alive.

Strasbourg has been particularly strong away from home recently, with 4 wins and 1 draw in their last five away matches. Over the course of the season, they have an even away goal balance (22:22). The team heads into this fixture full of confidence after defeating Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in their previous game.

Head-to-Head Stats

In the last five meetings between the two sides, Strasbourg has a slight edge. They’ve won twice compared to one win for Angers, while the other two matches ended in a draw. Interestingly, Angers’ only win came in the first meeting between the teams this season (3-1 away).

Prediction

For the Angers vs Strasbourg match, the prediction leans toward the visitors. Strasbourg is chasing a Champions League spot and is expected to put in a strong performance against one of the league’s strugglers. In this scenario, a bet on Strasbourg to win at odds of 1.87 looks appealing.
