Paris SG vs Angers Prediction & Betting tips
On paper, the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Angers this coming Saturday is a true winner. Can both teams actually deliver on that?
Paris Saint-Germain:
Paris Saint-Germain made an important step to the sixteenth finals of the Champions League last Tuesday by also winning the second group match. On a visit to Galatasaray in Istanbul, mercenary Mauro Icardi proved his worth for the Parisians by making the first goal of the match shortly after his first goal in the PSG shirt. Also in the league last weekend a visit to Girondins de Bordeaux was won 1-0, then by a goal from Neymar Jr. Assisted by Kylian Mbappé.
After eight rounds in Ligue 1, the Parisians have already lost six points by defeats against Stade Rennais and Stade Reims, but nevertheless Thomas Tuchel’s team is two points apart from the competition. The Parisians simply have by far the best selection of the Ligue 1 and will undoubtedly also be champion of France this season. Tuchel has for the first time on Saturday a fit Icardi, Mbappé and Neymar, who may form a new life-threatening trio while Edinson Cavani is still injured.
Angers:
Angers, the surprising number two of the Ligue 1, suffered a surprising loss of points at home against low-flyer Amiens last weekend. After an early goal against, the Stéphane Moulin team had full control of the game, but nevertheless the equalizer of Rachid Alioui only came in the final phase. Due to the first loss of points in three games, les Scoïstes are now two points behind leader PSG, but with sixteen points from the first eight games, the team from the Loire region is going through a great start to the season.
Just like Tuchel, Moulin undoubtedly sometimes has choice stress with regard to his attackers from a luxury situation. With three goals in the last two games, Rachid Alioui seems to be sure of his starting position, but players like Casimir Ninga (who scored a hat trick two weeks ago against AS Saint-Étienne) and Pierrick Capelle (who also scored against AS Saint-Étienne) fight a considerable competition among themselves. For the time being, Angers’ attackers generally had the best return as a substitute, so Moulin probably chose not to start the match with his goalgetters.
