Forecast for the Upcoming Paris Saint-Germain vs Angers Match

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are set to kick off their 2025/26 Ligue 1 campaign at home against Angers, aiming to extend their impressive 18-match winning streak against their opponents.

The first goal scored by PSG against Angers in Ligue 1 before the upcoming season was netted by Kylian Mbappé, a testament to the French superstar's impact on the team. This upcoming encounter will mark PSG's first competitive outing of the new season, following their victorious Ligue 1 opener against Nantes, where they secured a 1-0 win, recording 18 shots compared to Nantes' mere 5 attempts.

Angers, who started the new season with a 1-0 victory over newly promoted Paris FC, will be missing the suspended Louis Mouton and their second-top scorer from last season, Himad Abdelli. Esteban Lepaul, who scored the winner in Angers' gameweek one, will be featuring in the match.

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, suggest a home victory for the Parisian giants. However, Angers have not lost to PSG since December 2015, a streak that spans over six years.

The best odds for a PSG win are 4/9, as provided by 888sport. The verdict for the match is total home goals over 2.5. The corresponding match last season ended 1-0 in favour of PSG, but the scoreline was misleading as PSG had 20 shots to Angers' 4.

Lucas Chevalier is expected to make his Parc des Princes debut for PSG, while Gianluigi Donnarumma remains sidelined. It's worth noting that Alexandre Dujeux has overseen three of Le SCO's recent losses to PSG.

Despite Presnel Kimpembe and Senny Mayulu's potential unavailability due to a virus and a thigh injury, respectively, the odds seem to favour a home victory for PSG, who have not been defeated by Angers since January 1975.
