Angers will play host to Paris Saint-Germain on Friday night as the visitors aim to move a step closer to the Ligue 1 title.
Angers Form GuideIt’s always tough to be in a position like the one Angers are in right now. They are rooted to the bottom of the Ligue 1 table and, based on what we’ve seen throughout the campaign, the great escape isn’t on the cards. They’ve probably already started preparing for life back in the second tier behind the scenes and as such, they really should view the next handful of games as a free shot.
To kickstart the month, Angers actually made quite a few headlines by earning a 1-1 draw at home to Nice. After that, they really made a splash with a nice 1-0 win over Lille - only to fall short eight days later in a 2-1 loss away at Clermont.
PSG Form GuideParis Saint-Germain may not have claimed European glory this season, but they do seem poised to claim another Ligue 1 crown - so long as they don’t get complacent. They’ve got a squad that would create envy within any setup across the continent, but maintaining their spot as the kings of French football is the least that everyone expects from a club like this.
After being beaten at home by Lyon on April 2nd, PSG had to go back to the drawing board. That’s exactly what they did as they proceeded to beat Nice 2-0 away from home, before seeing off their closest challengers Lens 3-1 last weekend.
Latest Team NewsEl Melali, Dony, Ghoulam and Capelle are all injured with Bentaleb out through a suspension. Chetti will also miss this clash with Blazic and Salama both listed as doubtful to appear.
PSG aren’t without their own injury worries with Pembele, Mendes, Mukiele, Kimpembe, Neymar and Sanches all missing.
Match PredictionEveryone loves a good David vs Goliath clash and in a game like this, it really does come down to how frustrating Angers can be from a defensive standpoint. We actually think they’ve got it in them to last a while before caving, but in the end, we have to back PSG to get the win.
