PSG vs Angers Prediction, 01:45 August 23: Bullying the weak

TPO - Football analysis PSG vs Angers, Ligue 1 - information on forces, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. The lackluster victory over Nantes on the opening day showed that Luis Enrique and his team have not "warmed up". Therefore, welcoming Angers at Parc des Princes is an opportunity for PSG to regain their original image as champions.

PSG struggled to overcome Nantes.

Pre-match comments PSG vs Angers

PSG still achieved favorable results but they are showing fatigue after having to compete in many tournaments this year. Having to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup has seriously worn down the physical strength of many key players. After a hard-fought victory over Tottenham in the European Super Cup, coach Luis Enrique and his team continue to show a lack of vitality.

In the opening match of Ligue 1, PSG could only beat Nantes with a score of 1-0. Although still winning, the capital team did not create an overwhelming game as usual. In that context, the match hosting Angers at home at Parc des Princes in round 2 is considered an opportunity for PSG to find their rhythm again. In terms of direct confrontation, PSG is completely superior when defeating the opponent 9/10 recent encounters, scoring an average of nearly 3 goals per match.

However, if we only look at the past to evaluate, PSG can completely fall into the trap. Angers is starting the new season extremely excited, with a series of 4 consecutive wins in all competitions, including a victory in round 1 of Ligue 1. They show discipline in defense and the ability to counterattack quickly. This is the weapon that Angers can exploit against a PSG that is still sluggish and vulnerable in defense.

In other words, home advantage and superior class still help PSG to be rated much higher, but to have an overwhelming victory is not simple. Perhaps the most realistic scenario would be a sufficient victory, more psychological relief than a convincing performance. PSG needs more time to regain their freshness and inherent strength, before thinking about bigger goals this season.
