Angers vs PSG Prediction and Betting Tips | November 9th 2024
Angers will invite league leaders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Stade Raymond Kopa in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The hosts have two wins in 10 league games and are in 15th place in the standings. The visitors have enjoyed an unbeaten run in the league and have a six-point lead over second-placed Marseille.
Les Noirs et Blancs have seen an upturn in form and are unbeaten in their last four games, recording two consecutive wins. They met Monaco last week and Jean-Eudes Aholou's first-half strike helped them record a 1-0 away win.
The defending champions overcame Lens 1-0 at home last week, thanks to Ousmane Dembélé's fourth-minute strike. They failed to continue their winning run in the UEFA Champions League and suffered a 2-1 home loss to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
Warren Zaïre-Emery broke the deadlock in the 14th minute, with Dembélé picking up the assist. Atletico equalized four minutes later and Ángel Correa's stoppage-time strike helped them record a comeback win.

- The defending champions are on a 16-game winning streak against Les Noirs et Blancs and secured a league double with an aggregate score of 4-1 in the 2022-23 season.
- Angers are winless at home in this fixture since 1975. They have failed to score in six of their last eight home meetings against the visitors.

Angers vs PSG Prediction
Les Noirs et Blancs have enjoyed a good run of form and are unbeaten in their last four games. They have scored seven goals in these games while conceding four times. They are winless in this fixture since 1975, which is a cause for concern.
Zinedine Ould Khaled, Zinedine Ferhat, Cédric Hountondji, Justin Kalumba, and Sidiki Chérif are sidelined with injuries for manager Alexandre Dujeux. Joseph Lopy is a doubt.
Les Parisiens suffered their first defeat in over a month against Atletico on Wednesday and will look to bounce back here. They have an impressive away record in Ligue 1 and, having won their last 16 games in this fixture, they are strong favorites.
Presnel Kimpembe, Gonçalo Ramos, and Lucas Hernandez remain the only absentees for Luis Enrique. Randal Kolo Muani was on the bench against Atletico and might get the nod to start.
While Angers have enjoyed a good run of form recently, considering the visitors' dominance in this fixture, the defending champions are expected to record a comfortable win.
