After a shocking 0-2 Losing at Rennes before the international break, Paris Saint-Germain will try to recover in a French Ligue 1 game against Angers on Saturday. (More football news)
Despite the first defeat of the season in the domestic league, the Parisian Mauricio Pochettino lead the points table with 24 points from nine games (eight wins and one defeat). Gerald Baticle’s Angers is fourth with 16 games (four wins, four draws and one loss).
It will be tough for the hosts as PSG will miss the services of their South African stars. Lionel Messi, Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes played in Argentina’s 1-0 win over Peru, while Neymar and Marquinhos played for Brazil in a 4-1 win over Uruguay. Also the much anticipated debut of the former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos remains doubtful for at least some time.
But Pochettino can with Kylian Mbappe, Presnel Kimpembe, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marco Verratti, all of their duties in the UEFA Nations League have returned to form a very strong team.
Unlike PSG, Angers does not have to deal with such high-profile absenteeism. With a strong line of defense with captain Ismael Traore, Vincent Manceau and Romain Thomas, they can thwart PSG attacks while carrying out their own attacks. Players like Mohamed Ali-Cho and Sofiane Boufal can disrupt any defense any day, and they have the support of Batista Mendy and Thomas Mangani in midfield.
PSG have won 15 out of 25 meetings so far. In their last game, PSG beat Angers 5-0 (La Coupe de France). PSG won their last league game against Angers 1-0 in January. The last time Angers beat PSG in the league was in 1975.
