Strasbourg vs. Angers: Match Prediction

Alexandre Dujeux's side needs to strive for a positive result in the upcoming match, at least for their fans, who surely have been waiting for a home game in this tournament. Angers has been playing Coupe de France matches exclusively away for two years now, and they have been quite successful, winning 4 out of 5 matches (1 loss). Notably, they have been confident on the opponent's field, remaining unbeaten in regular time in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head meetings in Ligue 1 and the national cup (2 wins, 4 draws).

Strasbourg rarely wins at home in the Coupe de France, with only two victories in 90 minutes from their last eight matches (3 draws, 3 losses). They have already hosted Angers at home in the current Ligue 1 season, ending in a draw (1-1). Angers are generally resilient away and in the league, suffering only two of their four defeats this season by more than one goal.

My prediction – Angers with a handicap (+1)
