Tip and bets
Angers failed to strengthen the squad and was not looking confident in the pre-season friendlies. We think that hosts are prepared better for the new season, so they will secure a positive result in this match.
Our prediction - Strasbourg to win
Both teams are not so high-scoring, but there is no reason to sit out on defense at the start of the season.
Our second bet is on total over 2,5 goals
