PSG welcome Angers to the Parc des Princes for a Ligue 1 fixture on Saturday. With the hosts chasing a quadruple and crushing every opposition along the way, another comfortable, high-scoring victory is expected against their struggling visitors.
PSG are coming off a 4-2 victory over second-tier Dunkerque, which secured a place in the Coupe de France final. Still unbeaten in Ligue 1, the Parisians have won their last eight league games, with six of those victories coming by at least two clear goals like the 6-1 victory at Saint-Etienne in their previous Ligue 1 fixture.
Sitting comfortably at the top with a 21-point lead and just seven matches remaining, PSG can seal a 13th Ligue 1 title by simply avoiding defeat this weekend. They have been dominant all season and have won both halves in two of their last three Ligue 1 matches.
Angers head into this clash following a 3-0 league defeat to Rennes, extending their losing streak to four consecutive games without finding the net. This poor run has dragged them into the relegation battle, with another loss potentially dropping them into the bottom three.
Having conceded 11 goals across those four defeats, defending is clearly a problem for Angers. However, Alexandre Dujeux’s side will take confidence from their recent away form having gone unbeaten in three of their last five matches on the road.
