Preview
PSG looks to put away their shock loss to Rennes and get back to winning ways as the table toppers return to the Ligue 1 this week.
The Parisians were beaten 2-0 away by Laborde and Tait’s strikes as the set was complete in France with no more teams left unbeaten this season in the Ligue 1.
This was PSG’s first loss of the campaign and Mauricio Pochettino will want his boys to get back with a strong statement.
However, the hosts remain table toppers with 24 points after their last match prior to the international break.
On the other hand, Angers picked up an important 3-2 home win over Metz in their last match to continue their impressive form.
Bronn broke the deadlock for the visitors before Cho cancelled out his effort. Boulaya and Mangani made matters interesting by striking for either side.
But Bahoken scored deep into extra time to clinch the points for the hosts.
This win took Angers to 4th in the table with 16 points. Angers hope to inflict more pain on PSG by putting in a strong performance this week.
Both sides met last season in the Coupe De France quarterfinal where PSG won 5-0.

Prediction: PSG 2-1 Angers
PSG would be tested in this one as Angers has performed reasonably well and are capable of making it uncomfortable.
We have seen PSG eke out wins this season and this one could well go down to the wire.
However, the hosts do have the edge in terms of form and hence, we see them nick it.
Players to watch out for: Mbappé, Icardi, Cho and Boufal.
