The Matchday 28 clash in Ligue 1 between PSG and Angers will take place on April 5 at the Parc des Princes in Paris. PSG vs. Angers: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
PSG
The Parisians continue to dominate their opponents in the French championship, extending their winning streak to eight matches. In the last round, PSG demolished Saint-Etienne 6-1, further solidifying their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table. To secure another championship title, the capital club needs just one more point. PSG's unbeaten run in the elite French league has now reached 29 matches (24 wins, 5 draws). They also lead the tournament as the most prolific team, having scored 79 goals.
- The club has scored at least three goals in their last five matches in the French championship.
- Both teams have scored in PSG's last seven home matches in this tournament.
- At home, the team has won 11 of their last 13 Ligue 1 matches, with nine of those victories by at least a two-goal margin.
Predicted lineup for PSG (4-5-1)
Matvey Safonov – Lucas Hernandez, Lucas Beraldo, William Pacho, Warren Zaire-Emery – Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola – Goncalo Ramos.
Angers
In contrast, Angers have suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in the French championship, losing their previous match to Rennes 0-3. Moreover, all these matches were lost without scoring. Nevertheless, the club remains outside the relegation and playoff zones in the Ligue 1 table, sitting in 14th place. However, their lead over the 16th spot has shrunk to just three points. Notably, the club is on its longest losing streak since returning to France's top division. It's also worth mentioning that Angers have conceded at least two goals in their last five matches in the championship.
- The club has won with a handicap (+2.5) in 11 of their last 13 Ligue 1 matches.
- One team failed to score in seven of Angers' last nine away matches in the championship.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 12 of Angers' last 14 away matches in the elite French league.
Predicted lineup for Angers (4-5-1)
Yahia Fofana – Florent Hanin, Jordan Lefort, Abdoulaye Bamba, Carlin Arcus – Haris Belkebla, Jean-Eudes Aholou, Yassin Belkhdim, Jim Allevinah, Farid El Melali – Esteban Lepaul.

PSG vs. Angers: Match Prediction
PSG, aiming for their 13th championship title, is unlikely to be troubled by their upcoming opponent. The Parisians steamroll their opponents in Ligue 1, convincingly defeating even teams from the upper part of the standings. Angers, on the other hand, are struggling this season, having lost their last four championship matches with an aggregate score of 0-11. Luis Enrique's side, even when not playing at full strength, can comfortably secure a win. This was evident in their recent French Cup semifinal victory over Dunkirk, where they came from two goals down to win 4-2.
I do not expect the struggling Angers to pose any resistance to the highly motivated hosts. The giants will want to delight their home fans with an early championship win, likely in style. The Parisians have won their last eight Ligue 1 matches with a combined score of 30-10, and they have beaten Angers in their last 15 head-to-head encounters in this tournament. In six of their last eight home meetings in the championship, PSG defeated Angers by at least a two-goal margin.
Therefore, my prediction is PSG with a handicap (-2).
