Angers vs PSG Predictions

• Angers are unbeaten in four Ligue 1 games and beat third-placed Monaco 1-0 away last weekend
• PSG are coming off a 2-1 home Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid
• PSG have drawn two of their last three Ligue 1 away fixtures against Reims and Nice

PSG have gone off the boil

Angers will attempt to follow up their fine win at Monaco with another good showing against Paris Saint-Germain at Stade Raymond Kopa on Saturday evening. Le SCO extended their unbeaten Ligue 1 run to four games with last Saturday’s 1-0 victory at Stade Louis II and it was no fluke.

The promoted club made a fast start and took the lead through Jean-Eudes Aholou’s blast from the edge of the box. They then dug in to restrict Monaco to pot shots and half-chances, although Yahia Fofana was also in fine form in goal.

And they will sense an opportunity to do something similar against a PSG side that have gone a little off the boil recently.

False nine plan failed against Atletico

After beginning the campaign with a series of impressive wins by wide margins, Luis Enrique’s side have begun to lose their way a little. They scraped a 1-0 home win over Lens last weekend and then fell to their second Champions League loss of the season on Wednesday.

The Spanish coach played with a false nine again and saw his side fall to a last-minute goal in a 2-1 home defeat to Atletico Madrid. In the post-match press interviews, he then claimed he had no striker at his disposal, which will no doubt be great for substitute Randal Kolo Muani to hear.

PSG have so much quality at their disposal that it is hard to see Angers avoiding defeat in this clash, but they can put the shutters up and keep it close enough to cover a +3 handicap, which is available at better odds than backing an away win.
