Comments and predictions for PSG vs Angers: Crush the underdog
The match between PSG vs Angers in League 1 takes place at 1:45 a.m. on August 23. Let's analyze the performance, make football comments and predict the score.
Latest PSG vs Angers squad information
PSG have no new injuries from the win over Nantes, but Enrique could be without Presnel Kimpembe (virus) and Senny Mayulu (thigh). Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma remains out of the picture, so new signing Lucas Chevalier will make his debut at the Parc des Princes.
A host of key players including Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi were all benched last game, but are likely to return to the starting line-up. However, Enrique may have to consider between Bradley Barcola and Lee Kang-in – both of whom scored twice against Angers last season – and Joao Neves, who is back from suspension, is also in contention for a starting spot.
For Angers, Esteban Lepaul – the club’s top scorer last season with 9 goals – continued to shine with the only goal in the opening round. But they will be without Louis Mouton (suspended) and Himad Abdelli – the second highest scorer last season (6 goals).
Latest expected lineup PSG vs Angers
Paris Saint-Germain:
Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Lee, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Angers:
Koffi; Camara, Arcus, Lefort; Raolisoa, Capelle, Belkebla, Hanin; Belkhdim, Cherif; Lepaul
Latest football commentary PSG vs Angers
Although coach Luis Enrique admitted that PSG lacked preparation due to the lack of pre-season friendlies, the European champions were still able to beat Nantes 1-0 in the opening round of Ligue 1.
PSG were completely dominant in that victory: they fired 18 shots, while allowing only 5 shots, none of which were on target. Despite not creating many good chances, Enrique's team were hardly in danger of dropping points, continuing their successful run after winning the European Super Cup against Tottenham.
PSG’s aim is to continue their winning streak in Ligue 1, and fans will be hoping for all three points against Angers – a team they have beaten 18 times in a row in all competitions, with their last defeat being a 0-0 draw in December 2015. Last season, PSG also beat Angers 1-0 in a dominant game with a 20-4 scoring ratio.
Angers come into this game in somewhat better spirits following their 1-0 win over Ligue 1 newcomers Paris FC in the opening round. However, it should be remembered that Paris FC have only just returned to the top flight after 46 years, and Angers were down a man from the 57th minute when Louis Mouton was sent off.
Although the defense played disciplined, limiting the opponent to mainly long shots (12/17 shots from outside the box), coach Alexandre Dujeux and his team clearly knew that the task against PSG would be much more difficult. Le SCO had not beaten PSG since January 1975 and had also "failed to score" in both of their most recent away trips to the capital.
