Bet of the day

PSG vs. Angers 

Match Facts

• In six of their eight Ligue 1 home games this season, PSG has won at halftime and at full time.

• Angers have been defeated in their previous nine Ligue 1 games.
• Six of Angers’ eight away league games have ended with goal deficits, and five of those games ended in defeat.

Lionel Messi is back to help humiliate Angola.

PSG will be looking to hold onto their four-point Ligue 1 lead when they play struggling Angers tonight with Lens close behind them. 

The champions’ 2-1 loss to Les Sang on New Year’s Day serves as a warning that any lack of concentration could result in consequences in the months to come.

With Neymar and Marco Verratti having served their suspensions and being available for selection, PSG should be at full strength for this matchup with bottom-of-the-table Angers.

No wonder the odds favoring PSG to win are extremely small. Lionel Messi is also likely to play for the first time since the World Cup.

They ought to be far stronger than the guests, who have only won four of their first eight Ligue 1 away games.

Angers will lose at halftime again.

Angers has a terrible record at the Parc des Princes and against PSG in general.

They have not taken a single point this year from a team in the top half of the table. 

They have lost all 14 of their previous encounters with PSG, and three of their most recent visits to the club in the capital saw them lose by four goals or more.

Although Angers managed to keep the score close enough to lose only 2-1 in the previous season, PSG might choose to take it easy and save some of its offensive firepower for the upcoming weekend trip to Rennes. 

This season, Christophe Galtier’s team has a propensity to get off to fast starts.

They have led at halftime in six of their eight Ligue 1 home games, which they have won all eight of. 

PSG team news

After receiving some respite during the team’s weekend victory in the Coupe de France, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Neymar should all be back with their teammates.

Since Achraf Hakimi has an accumulation of yellow cards, which makes him unavailable for selection, Nordi Mukiele will likely start at right back.

Juan Bernat could start at left field now that he is healthy again.

Danilo Pereira, who was a substitute in Friday’s Coupe de France, is also back to full health.

Angers Team News

Faouzi Ghoulam, a former Sainté fullback, has been working out with the guests and might be a right-back possibility.

Azzedine Ounahi’s ankle injury is still uncertain.

Sofiane Boufal has resumed training but might not yet be ready to play right away.

Head-to-head comparison

PSG have won the last 14 matches against Angers, and in ten of those games, they were in the lead at halftime.

Conclusion

Given that Angers has fallen behind frequently this season, betting on the home team to lead at halftime and at the end of the match makes sense in this situation. 

For possible correct score purposes, a 3-0 victory for PSG is my prediction, as the hosts are averaging just under three goals per game over their past five home games, while Angers has not scored on the road against a top-half team in 2022–23. Today
