Angers SCO vs Paris St. Germain - 21/04/2023
3132
The action this weekend in Ligue 1 begins on Friday the 21st of April with the meeting between Angers and Paris Saint-Germain.
The game will be played at the Stade Raymond Kopa and the hosts begin the weekend bottom of the table on just 14 points while the visitors are top of the league with 72 points to their name.
Angers come into the match on the back of a 2-1 loss at Clermont in Ligue 1 last weekend. Angers opened the scoring in the 28th minute but conceded two penalties before half time to go in 2-1 down at the interval. Clermont played the second half with only ten men but Angers could not find the equaliser.
That defeat means Angers have recorded only one win from their 13 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
The victory came at home over Lille in Angers most recent home league match but they have lost 6 of their last 8 Ligue 1 games. In fact, Angers are in an unfortunate period, having won just 1 of their last 20 matches in Ligue 1.
Home form in the league shows Angers are undefeated in 3 of their last 5 fixtures but they have won only 1 of their last 12 home Ligue 1 games. Trends show Angers have conceded 2 more goals in 9 of their last 12 league matches on home soil.
PSG travel to the Stade Raymond Kopa having beat Lens 3-1 at home in Ligue 1 last weekend. The visitors were reduced to ten men after only 19 minutes and PSG took full advantage to score 3 goals before half time.
Lens showed good determination in the second half to score the only goal after the interval.
The win over Lens means PSG are back on track in Ligue 1 having won their 2 most recent fixtures.
They defeated Nice 2-0 away and that win followed two disappointing defeats for PSG, losing 2-0 to Rennes and 1-0 to Lyon, both at home in Ligue 1.
Despite those recent defeats trends show PSG are undefeated in 35 of their last 40 league games. They have won 4 of their last 5 Ligue 1 matches on the road and scored 2 more goals in all 4 of the victories.
Team news and Angers have a significant injury list including Pierrick Capelle, Farid El Melali, Miha Blazic, Ilyes Chetti, Ali Kalla, and Ulrick Eneme-Ella.
PSG have plenty of injuries of their own, with Timothée Pembélé, Renato Sanches, Marco Verratti, Nordi Mukiele, Presnel Kimpembe, and Neymar Jr all unavailable for this match.
Angers have little to fight for as they are going to go down this season. PSG are edging closer to the title and a win in this game will see them take another step towards the 11th championship. We expect to see PSG score at least 2 goals and keep a clean sheet on their way to victory.
