Angers are one of the teams that usually don't have too many chances against PSG, as they have lost the last 18 H2H matches. Last season, it was 1-0 in Paris and 4-2 in Angers. Another interesting fact about the H2H games between these two teams is that five of the previous six head-to-head matches went under 3.5 goals.
PSG team overview
When the Qatari investment fund bought PSG in 2011, they surely didn't expect to need 14 years to climb to the top of European football. Last year, PSG succeeded. They became a scary team under Luis Enrique and won the long-desired Champions League title. PSG had a long summer, as they played at the Club World Cup, too, where they lost in the final against Chelsea.
Due to obligations during the summer, PSG skipped preseason this summer. Their first game after the Club World Cup was in the UEFA Super Cup, which Enrique's team won after penalties against Tottenham. Last week, in the Ligue 1 opening round, PSG won 1-0 on the road against Nantes. The guests dominated the game and could easily score a few more goals.
There was an ongoing saga around the goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer, as the Italian will leave PSG. However, Enrique's team has a ready solution in excellent Lucas Chevalier, who came from Lille.
Besides Donnarumma, who is not playing due to the coach's decision, PSG will also be without Senny Mayulu and Presnel Kimpembe on Friday against Angers.

Angers team overview
Last season was tough for Angers, but they ended three points above the relegation zone and avoided relegation. Angers didn't improve their squad significantly this summer, so their primary goal in the 2025/26 season should be to avoid relegation. Angers' preseason was encouraging with four wins from six matches. The good form, Alexandre Dujeux's team continued in the Ligue 1 opening round with a 1-0 win at home against Paris FC. Although Angers played with ten players for a large chunk of the second half, they secured an important victory and will travel to Parc des Princes with a lot of confidence.
Angers' Louis Mouton got a red card in the Ligue 1 opening round and will skip the upcoming tie against PSG. Injured Himad Abdelli will not play as well.

Prediction
PSG had problems in the UEFA Super Cup, but in the Ligue 1, they shone, especially in defense. On the other hand, Angers are surprisingly good in defense in the previous weeks as they didn't allow any goals in the last six matches, including preseason. The H2H games between PSG and Angers are usually low-scoring. We should expect a similar match on Friday evening, too. Our prediction: Under 3.5 goals.
4 Reasons why we shouldn't expect more than three goals in this match
- PSG allowed two goals in the first two games of the season
- Angers didn't concede any goals in the last six matches
- There were two or fewer goals in each of the previous seven Angers games
- PSG and Angers went under 3.5 goals in five of the last six H2H matches
Main prediction -
Under 3.5 goals
