Our prediction for this Coupe de France match:
Strasbourg will look to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Rennes when they take on Angers in the Coupe de France last 16. Le Racing are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. The likes of Barco, Bakwa, Delaine, and Dion are out of contention with injuries for the home side, while talented forward Jeremy Sebas is pushing for a rare start.
Les Scoistes, on the other hand, head into Wednesday’s game following a 1-1 draw with Le Havre. Angers have been producing fine displays in 2025, but beating Strasbourg at Stade de la Meinau is easier said than done. As both Angers and Strasbourg are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the French Cup game, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Lilian Rao-Lisoa is available for selection despite his sending-off against Le Havre, while both Sidiki Cherif and Halid Sabanovic miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Team (Strasbourg):
Founded back in 1906, Strasbourg is a professional football team that compete in French Ligue 1. Le Racing did remarkably well to win the 1979 Ligue 1 trophy and that is considered the biggest success in the history of the club. Strasbourg won Coupe de France on three occasions (1951, 1966, 2001) and they have three Coupe de la Ligue trophies as well (1964, 1997, 2005). Strasbourg’s main rivals are Metz and the two teams face each other in the Derby de l’Est (The Eastern derby).
Le Racing recorded their biggest victory over Valenciennes (10-0) in the 1937-1938 season, whilst they suffered their biggest loss to Limoges (0-8) in the 1959/1960 season. Paraguayan goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert, who is well known for his free-kick abilities, played for the club from 2000 to 2003, but he failed to score in a league match during his spell with the Stade de la Meinau outfit. Speaking of Stade de la Meinau, Strasbourg’s home ground was opened back in 1914 and the capacity of the venue is 29,320.
