Strasbourg slightly leads this head-to-head competition, winning four out of ten. Angers on the other hand was able to win three matches too. Furthermore, not more than three goals were scored in seven out of their last ten matches.
Strasbourg Alsace
Strasbourg’s route towards the Round of 16 in the French Cup was a foregone conclusion in my opinion. Calais (0-3) and Thaon (2-2, 3-5 from the penalty spot) for such a team is just easy meat. They are currently a robust mid-table side of Ligue 1 and in a good shape too. Strasbourg was recently defeated by Rennes 0:1, but before that, they were unbeaten in eight, winning six.

Angers SCO
The rhythm of Angers has decreased a little bit after “the black and whites” lost to Lens (0:1) and Le Havre (1:1). This is after the team won five matches in a row. Now the team can be a threat to most of their opponents. Even with this success, the club has been able to escape relegation from Ligue 1 as they currently sit at 15th place in the standings.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
In the clash between the 9th and 15th spots in Ligue 1, the more consistent teams in the league Angela should perform better in this round. Angers has indeed looked good lately, but Strasbourg did come across fierce contenders in their earlier rounds and even there, the team exuded full confidence. We think Strasbourg will be the ones to take the cake winning 1-0.
But placing mug Angers not having enough freedom to operate Black and White team can be dangerous under these circumstances. The squad’s back line is tightening, and Fofana seems to be in excellent form who kept saving the goal. Therefore placing the bet on Total goals under 2.5 seems reasonable with 1.80 odds.
