Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Christophe Galtier's star-studded PSG lock horns with a struggling Angers side in an important clash at the Stade Raymond Kopa on Friday.
Angers vs PSG Preview
Angers are currently rooted to the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings and have struggled to cope with the rigors of the French top flight so far this season. The home side slumped to a damaging 2-1 defeat at the hands of Clermont Foot last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment but have not been at their prolific best this year. The Parisian giants defeated Lens by a commendable 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
