Anger take on the visitors PSG in the round 11 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, November 9th at Stade Raymond-Kopa (Angers)
Alexandre Dujeux’s team currently sits in 15th place in the French league standings with 10 points after 10 rounds. Angers is only one point away from the direct relegation zone, so they need to step up their game to stay ahead of the competition in the battle for survival in Ligue 1. To their credit, Angers has put in a strong effort in recent rounds. Dujeux’s players are unbeaten in their last four matches and have even secured back-to-back wins in their last two games. They achieved an impressive victory over Saint-Étienne (4-2) and shocked Monaco with a 1-0 win on their home turf. Angers, however, has a few players unavailable due to injury: midfielder Joseph Lopy (health issues), forward Sidiki Cherif (thigh bruise), and winger Justin Kalumba (ankle fracture).

Paris Saint-Germain’s position at the top. Luis Enrique’s players lead the Ligue 1 standings with 26 points and a solid six-point lead over nearest challengers Marseille and Monaco. PSG is the only undefeated team in the current championship. In the last three rounds, the "Red and Blues" defeated Strasbourg (4-2), Marseille (3-0), and Lens (1-0). Notably, Enrique’s team hasn’t dropped a single point at home, while they’ve managed draws in away matches against Reims (1-1) and Nice (1-1). However, PSG’s Champions League performance has been lackluster, and they currently sit outside the qualification spots. After four rounds, they’re in a disappointing 25th place with just four points. This past Wednesday, PSG suffered a 2-1 home loss to Atletico Madrid, conceding the deciding goal in the 93rd minute. The Parisian squad will be missing defenders Lucas Hernandez (ACL tear), Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles injury), and forward Gonçalo Ramos (ankle injury).
Angers hasn’t defeated PSG since 1975, with each of the last 16 meetings ending in a win for the Parisians. Last season, PSG won 2-0 at home and 2-1 away. PSG is the clear favorite, but Angers shouldn’t be dismissed. The visitors from Paris will likely be fatigued from their midweek Champions League match, which could benefit Angers’ counter-attacking style. Angers has already claimed points against top teams this season, including an away win over Monaco and a 1-1 draw against Marseille. Given these results, Dujeux’s team could realistically aim for a close scoreline, making handicap bets in favor of the home team worth considering.
Prediction for the match: Anger to win with +2.0 handicap.
