Match Preview:
On August 22, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain will host Angers at the Parc des Princes for a Ligue 1 encounter. PSG, the reigning champions, are expected to continue their dominance over a newly-promoted Angers side.

PSG's recent form is impressive, with a 100% win record in the early stages of the new season, which includes a narrow 1-0 victory over Nantes in their opener. They have also won their last six head-to-head matchups against Angers in Ligue 1, and have an even more dominant record at home, winning their last 10 home games against them in the league. With new additions like Lucas Chevalier and Illia Zabarnyi, and a dangerous attacking trio of Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Désiré Doué, PSG's offense is a significant threat.

Angers, while having a respectable start to the season with a win against Paris FC, faces a considerable challenge. They are likely to employ a compact defensive strategy and rely on counterattacks and set pieces to create opportunities. Despite a strong defensive showing in their last game, they have struggled in recent away matches, with two losses in their last three away fixtures.

Match Preview:
The historical dominance of PSG, combined with their potent attack and home advantage, makes them the clear favorites. However, Angers' potential for a disciplined defensive performance could make the match a bit tighter than a complete blowout. While some predictions point to a wider margin of victory for PSG (e.g., 3-0), the more balanced prediction of a 2-1 win for PSG acknowledges Angers' defensive capabilities while still favoring the overwhelming firepower and historical advantage of the home team.
