PSG vs Angers Predictions and Betting Tips
Matchday six in the Ligue 1 is set to kick off on Friday with one solitary game scheduled to feature. In said game, we see the defending champions PSG welcome Angers to the capital in this massive six-pointer. Will the away side manage an improbable win on Friday night?
PSG have proven themselves to be the bogey team for all French Ligue 1 teams, including Angers. Les Parisiens are unbeaten against their opponents in 11 matches, with just one of those games ending in a stalemate. The previous game between these two sides ended in a 4-0 thrashing by the capital club. How will the away team fare given their poor form against Tuchel's outfit?
Les Parisiens back to their sparklng best
PSG endured a flawed start to the new campaign having lost both opening games. This could be attributed to the absence of key players mainly because of fatigue given their European escapades at the backend of the last campaign. However, the return of said players has gotten the team back together with Tuchel's troops firing on all cylinders.
The capital club are currently on a three-match winning run inspired by Julian Draxler's late winner against Metz. They were once again majestic away at Reims as they bagged another three points last weekend. Mauro Icardi was at the double to guide his side towards their third straight win in the league.
Angers and their struggle for consistency
Stephane Moulin hasn't been able to string a good run of results in the five games played so far. Although they have nine points on the board, their current run of results indicates a season of inconsistency. However, it is still too early to tell taking into account we're only five matches into the campaign.
Nonetheless, the Angers' supporters must have been impressed as the team ran out 3-2 winners against Brest. The game was unexpectedly topsy-turvy with the losing side grabbing the lead on two occasions in the first half. Ultimately, two goals in the final thirteen minutes from Traore and Fulgini ensured the home side recorded a famous win.

Tuchel and his boys are currently six points from the summit, and a fourth straight win will be the sole aim as they head into this game.

However, we don't see anything other than a comprehensive home win taking into account the current form of the defending champions.
