PSG looking to extend unbeaten league run after UCL defeat.
In a clash of contrasting fortunes, an in-form Angers side, fresh off stunning victories, faces the daunting challenge of hosting PSG, the unbeaten league leaders, at Stade Raymond Kopa this Saturday evening.
Angers SCO
Angers could not record a win in their opening eight Ligue 1 matches of the campaign [0W, 4D, 4L]. However, Les Scoïstes have now won their last two matches and are unbeaten in the last four [LDDWW].
Alexandre Dujeux's side achieved a 4-2 win over newly promoted Saint-Étienne, followed by a surprising 1-0 victory against one of Ligue 1's top teams, Monaco. Jean-Eudes Aholou scored the game's only goal in the 29th minute, and Angers successfully held on to the lead despite everything Monaco threw at them.
Despite the win, SCOA remained in 15th place, having picked up 10 points [2W, 4D, 4L] from 10 matches, sitting just one point above the relegation zone. Angers face a huge task in extending their four-match unbeaten streak when they take on PSG, hoping for another giant-killing result.
Les Scoïstes aim to achieve two successive home wins this season, which could potentially lift them as high as mid-table. However, Alexandre Dujeux understands the challenge ahead, remarking that PSG ‘are a step above Monaco’ during his pre-match press conference. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Ibrahima Niane leading the attack is expected for Saturday's clash.
Paris Saint Germain
PSG's struggles in the UEFA Champions League continued last Wednesday, losing 2-1 at home against Atlético Madrid. This result leaves them with just one win after four UCL games [1W, 1D, 2L].
After the loss, Luis Enrique commented, "I've been in the game for over 30 years, and I can't explain it. It's just bad luck. We were infinitely superior to our opponents."
Despite their European challenges, PSG are performing well in Ligue 1. The 12-time French champions extended their unbeaten start to the season with a 1-0 victory over Lens, securing 26 points from 10 games [8W, 2D, 0L].
Boasting the best attack in the league with 29 goals, PSG also have the second-best defense, having conceded just eight goals so far. They are on a three-match winning streak [WDWWW] that they aim to extend against Angers.
However, both times PSG have dropped points this season were during away matches, with 1-1 draws against Reims and Nice. In their current 4—3—3 formation, Bradley Barcola, Marco Asensio, and Ousmane Dembélé are expected to lead the line.
Unfortunately, PSG are dealing with injuries as Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernández, and Gonçalo Ramos are all sidelined.
