A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : France: Ligue 1

Saturday 10th May 2025, 2000hrs
Angers registered what could prove to be a vital win last weekend in the French top flight when Alexandre Dujeux’s side picked up the all-important three points courtesy of a 1-0 win away from home at Nantes to give the upcoming hosts a welcome two-point buffer above the relegation play-off spot.
However, league wins have been hard to come by in recent weeks in the domestic top flight as Angers have managed to capture just three wins in their last 14 matches overall, with victories gained over the likes of Reims, Montpellier and Nantes.
Within these previous 14 games though, Angers have also been dealt no fewer than nine losses, five of which have been handed out to the hosts on home soil at their Stade Raymond Kopa where Angers possess an ordinary looking home record of 4-2-10 16/32 and the third worst defensive record at home in the division.
Strasbourg moved up into 6th place in the Ligue 1 table after inflicting an impressive 2-1 home win against the runaway leaders, PSG, as Liam Rosenior’s side continue their upward momentum and sustained challenge for a European spot next season.
With two games remaining of the Ligue 1 campaign and just a single point between themselves and 3rd placed Monaco, Strasbourg will have their eyes firmly set on a possible Champions League spot and having now put together a solid looking unbeaten run of 12 games overall, the visitors look in good shape for a result here.
Nine wins within these previous 12 games including seven clean sheets places Strasbourg in a strong position ahead of this upcoming encounter at the Stade Raymond Kopa, especially as the visitors have lost just once in their last nine outings on the road.
The Betting Verdict
Strasbourg have won both of their previous two away games at Angers.
The Pick :
Angers 1-2 Strasbourg
