"Starting with the hosts, while some around the Stade de la Meinau might have been shocked last summer following Liam Rosenior's arrival, Strasbourg have embarked on a sensational rise under the former Hull City boss. Breaking a string of records last season as they booked a famous European ticket, Le Racing find the mood in their camp at a continued high."
"As for the visitors, although Angers might have managed to keep hold of their Ligue 1 status last season, it appears that Alexandre Dujeux's men have a real battle on their hands this time around. Last seen putting in another downbeat display as they slumped to a routine 2-0 defeat at home against Brest, Les Scoistes are regarded as a standout relegation contender this year."
Strasbourg have risen under Liam Rosenior, breaking records last season and securing European qualification. The team began their Europa Conference League campaign with a 2-1 win at Slovan Bratislava and have won three of their last four matches across competitions despite a 2-1 league loss to Marseille. Strasbourg scored in an action-packed 3-2 victory over Paris FC but need defensive stability, registering just one clean sheet in six outings. Angers sit in contrast, struggling for goals and results, suffering consecutive defeats including a 2-0 home loss to Brest, failing to win in five matches and posing relegation concerns.
