Prediction: 3-0
Angers
PSG will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Nantes when they welcome Angers to their Parc des Princes on Matchday 2. Luis Enrique rested several first-team regulars in the season opener, but the Catalan tactician is going to field the best possible side against les Scoistes. All Achraf Hakimi, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia should be recalled to the starting XI, while midfielder Joao Neves is back from suspension.
The visitors, on the other hand, did well to beat newcomers Paris FC thanks to Esteban Lepaul’s early goal, but they will have a mountain to climb in “the City of Lights”. As important midfielder Louis Mouton misses Friday’s clash through suspension, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting in Paris in the national championship, PSG recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Angers.
Highlighted Team (PSG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
