Match Forecast: Paris Saint-Germain versus Angers
In the upcoming Ligue 1 match of the 2025/26 season, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will be hosting Angers at the Parc des Princes on Friday, August 22, 2025, at 8:45 PM.
PSG have had a dominating streak against Angers, winning 18 consecutive matches against them, a run that dates back to January 1975. The last time Angers managed to draw against PSG was in December 2015. This history suggests a challenging night for Angers, who will be without key players Louis Mouton, suspended, and Himad Abdelli, the second-top scorer from last season, who is also unavailable.
Despite the absence of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG's overall superiority and the anticipated return of several key players such as Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desire Doue, Nuno Mendes, and Achraf Hakimi, indicate a straightforward home victory for them.
On the other hand, Angers opened the 2024-25 season with a 1-0 victory over newly promoted Paris FC. Esteban Lepaul scored the winning goal, a sign of their resilience, but it remains to be seen if they can replicate this performance against the league's heavyweights.
The best odds for the total home goals over 2.5 can be found at 888sport, reflecting the expectation of a high-scoring encounter. PSG recorded 18 shots in the last match against Angers, compared to Angers' 4, further supporting this prediction.
However, PSG's Presnel Kimpembe and Senny Mayulu might be unavailable due to a virus and a thigh injury, respectively, which could potentially shift the balance. Lucas Chevalier is set to make his Parc des Princes debut for PSG, adding an element of uncertainty to the match.
Angers could see a change in their midfield with Joao Neves returning from suspension and potentially replacing Lee. This could provide a spark for Angers, but it remains to be seen if it will be enough to challenge PSG.
As PSG prepare for their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Aston Villa, they will be looking to maintain their impressive form in the domestic league. With a strong squad and a history of dominance against Angers, PSG will be favourites to secure another win in this highly anticipated clash.
