Tip and bets
Angers slowed down a little bit, so their results went downhill. Paris Saint-Germain got off to a great start, but in the most recent match team suffered a first defeat in the season.
Some of Paris' players are unavailable so far, plus Mauricio Pochettino is yet to name the line-up, but we think that Parisians will be able to break the unexpected European spot contender even with a weakened squad of players.

We think that visitors will park the bus and will rely on counter-attacks and set-pieces. But hosts will be ready for it, they are able to break through any defense.
