PSG take on the visitors Angers in the round 18 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 11th at Parc des Princes (Paris)
PSG recent matches include a winner from penalty spot against Strasbourg, defeat against Lens, win by just two goals against modest Chateauroux. The champion of the country after the World Cup cannot disperse in any way, Galtier also has problems with the squad. In addition to this, the Parisians no longer have a categorical advantage, if you look at the standings. Today’s hosts are only four points ahead of Lens, who defeated them in the league match recently. It is clear that at a distance PSG will not allow anyone to catch them anyway. But the negative handicap that bookmakers offer for them are not always played. And especially in the current situation. The champion won only three matches with a difference of more than three goals in the current championship.

The problems of the Black and White were noticeable last season. Alas, at the moment the visitors are the last, and given the fact that four clubs are relegated this season, the handicap of rivals in front of Angers is already seven points. There were nine defeats in a row before the match for the national cup with Strasbourg, in which they still managed to win only in a penalty shootout. The defense of the team is weak. At the same time, Angers did not lose with a devastating score for quite number of rounds of Ligue 1. The team's attack is not strong by any merits and it’s weakened due to the absence of several players.
Everything seems to be clear. The first and last teams meet in a head-to-head confrontation. Messi is unlikely to return after the holidays, but of course there is someone to replace him in a match with such an opponent. Despite PSG’s status of the favorite, we would not be in a hurry to say that there is absolutely no chance for Angers. After a pause, the hosts are not exactly impressive. The game is likely to be difficult. Therefore, I would stop at a positive handicap of the visitors in three goals.
Prediction for the match: Angers to win +3.0 handicap.
