Strasbourg vs Angers Prediction 05.02.2025 | Coupe de France

• Competition: Coupe de France - Round of 16
• Date: Wednesday, 5th, February 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Stade de la Meinau (Strasbourg)

With hopes of securing back-to-back quarterfinal appearances in the Coupe de France, Strasbourg will welcome Angers to Stade de la Meinau on Wednesday night.

Strasbourg suffered a setback in their quest for a spot that guarantees European football next season after falling to a late 0-1 loss against a struggling Rennes side away from home, leaving them in ninth place, six points adrift of RC Lens in sixth. Le Racing, however, now shift their focus to Coupe de France duties, where they aim to reach the quarterfinals in back-to-back campaigns, but they will need to display more strength than in the previous round when they barely overcame amateur club Thaon through penalties.

The weekend Ligue 1 clash with the bottom dwellers was the perfect opportunity for Angers to further distance themselves from the threatened spots, but instead, they wre forced to leave their last drop of sweat to earn a late 1-1 tie against Angers. While remaining five points above the relegation zone in the French top flight, the Black and Whites are now turning their attention to the Coupe de France, where they have made a solid impression to this point, edging past FC 93 1-0 and overcoming third-tier side Quevilly Rouen in a five-goal thriller on their way to the competition's round of 16.

Strasbourg vs Angers Betting Tips: STRASBOURG TO WIN

This will be the second meeting between these rivals in the last three Coupe de France editions, with the first one going to Angers, who triumphed through a penalty shootout victory, but this time we hope Strasbourg will come out on top and exact their revenge. This season, Le Racing have been in pretty good form at home, having lost only one match on their turf, and they arrive here on the back of impressive back-to-back wins over Auxerre (3-1) and LOSC Lille (2-1). Ahead of the cup clash, Angers have weathered a slight dip in form recently, picking up just one point from their last two Ligue 1 outings, but despite that, they are certainly not backing down from their fight to break into the top eight of the Coupe de France. However, Le SCO have not fared well in recent meetings with Le Racing, as they ended up on the losing side in three of the last five head-to-heads, and we believe Strasbourg, utilizing their home advantage, could secure a spot in the last-eight for the second consecutive year.
