Sports Innovation previews the Ligue 1 match between PSG and Angers and offers team stats, betting tips and the latest odds.
Paris Saint-Germain welcome Angers to the Parc des Princes for their first game back since the international break on Friday.
With a six-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table, PSG aim to extend their advantage. The Parisians, who finished second last season, have collected 24 points and eight victories from nine matches. They sit eight points above the fourth-placed Angers, who have 16 points from as many games.
The visitors have been a surprise package and a win in Paris would move them up to second place. Given that PSG will be without several South American stars, including Lionel Messi and Neymar, as well as Sergio Ramos, Angers hope to do some damage against the weakened hosts.
