Prediction: 1-1
Strasbourg
Angers and Strasbourg go head to head at Stade Raymond-Kopa in what is expected to be an interesting Ligue 1 encounter. Les Scoistes aim to make amends for a heavy 5-2 loss to Angers, and a win over Strasbourg could see them climb to the top half of the table. Cameroon internationals Ebosse and Bahoken are back from Africa Cup of Nations, while both Ali Cho and Ould Khaled should miss out with injuries.
Le Racing, on the other hand, are enjoying a season to remember, with the team sitting in top four ahead of the trip to Angers. Strasbourg did well to beat Nantes 1-0 at home in their last league match, but defeating les Scoistes on the road is easier said than done. A close match is on the cards at Stade Raymond-Kopa; therefore, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Habib Diallo is back from international duty, while Jean-Eudes Aholou, Kevin Gameiro, and Maxime Le Marchand are likely to miss the game with injuries.
