PSG vs Angers

PSG are set for their first home game of the season as they host Angers in a Friday night French Ligue 1 fixture.

The Parc des Princes played a pivotal role in their success last season, and the Parisians will be keen to put down a marker in front of their fans. They should be too strong for the visitors and are expected to earn a comfortable victory.

PSG News

PSG began their Ligue 1 title defence with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Nantes. They were frustrated for much of the contest and missed multiple scoring opportunities, with Vitinha’s second-half effort proving the difference.

While it was not a vintage performance, PSG will be pleased to be up and running for the season. The Parisians are now unbeaten in 14 of their last 15 matches across all competitions, winning 11 times on this run.

While PSG will be keen to flex their attacking muscles in front of their fans, the result at Nantes highlights Luis Enrique’s recent defensive discipline. The champions have kept clean sheets in eight of their last 11 matches across all competitions.

Angers News

Angers are also coming off a 1-0 victory as they edged out newly promoted Paris FC in their opening fixture. They struck early in the first half through Esteban Lepaul and were able to hold on despite facing plenty of pressure from the visitors.

That result carries on Angers’ fine preseason form as they are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions. Alexandre Dujeix’s team have picked up five wins on this run, although a clash with the champions represents a step up in quality from their recent opponents.

One area that needs improvement from last season is Angers’ away form, having found things difficult on their travels. They have lost four of their last five Ligue 1 matches on the road, failing to score in three of those fixtures.

Head to Head

PSG have never lost in this fixture, picking up 20 wins and one draw from 21 previous matches against Angers. The Parisians did the double last season, earning a 4-2 away victory before a 1-0 home win in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

PSG v Angers

PSG have been solid at the back lately and have also kept clean sheets in three of the last four home matches against Angers. With all three fixtures also ending in wins to nil, Friday's clash could be set to offer up a similar outcome.

The Parisians will be keen to put on a show in their first home game of the season. Having won both halves in four of the last six home matches against Angers, they could be set for a repeat in this one.
