Paris FC vs Angers prediction: Parisians to steal three points off Angers
Key stats
- Paris FC have won successive competitive fixtures.
- PFC have failed to win any of their last five Ligue 1 home games.
- Angers are on a three-match losing streak across all competitions.
- The visitors have lot five of their nine trips away from home in the top-flight.
Correct score prediction: Paris FC 2-1 Angers
Paris FC followed up their 1-0 shock victory over PSG in the French Cup with a hard-fought 2-1 triumph against Nantes in Ligue 1. That win marked the first league victory in seven games for Stephane Gilli’s side, who sit five points ahead of the nearest relegation spot.
Angers aren’t far off from the drop zone as well, with 22 points – three ahead of Paris FC – in the league table. They enter this clash on the back of three straight competitive defeats, including an elimination from the Coupe de France, following which Marseille shopped five past them in a 5-2 win.
Paris FC have the momentum in their favour, and their home advantage should prove fruitful against an Angers side who have failed to score more than once in each of their last three away league games.
