Matchday 28 of the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season will include Paris Saint-Germain welcoming Angers at the Parc des Princes on Saturday afternoon. The French crown is awaiting the league leaders who currently have 71 points in the bag. Angers, on the other hand, is on the wrong end of the table, in 14th with just 27 points so far. The Paris Saint-Germain vs Angers fixture should be a comfortable outing for the hosts who will be looking to take another key step towards retaining the Ligue 1 trophy.

Paris Saint-Germain will be greatly pleased and satisfied with its latest results. In the last six games, the Parisian outfit has managed five victories and just a single draw. The draw came in the second leg against Liverpool in the Champions League round of 16, which ultimately culminated with a PSG victory in the penalty shootout.

Luis Enrique deserves plenty of plaudits for overseeing the transition of Paris following the departure of Kylian Mbappe. It has now become a question of when rather than if regarding PSG's quest for the league title. Ousmane Dembele has been the top scorer for the club with 21 goals this season.

Angers will not be content with how the recent matches have played out. The visitors have accumulated four defeats and a draw in the last six games. During this period, Angers has scored just a solitary goal and conceded a staggering 12 goals. Alexandre Dujeux will be determined not to see his side slip into the relegation zone and risk playing in the second division next season. Angers has scored just 1.0 goals per match in the league so far and has kept only five clean sheets in the competition.

Key Players to Watch in Paris Saint-Germain vs Angers

Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint-Germain)

Not many would have expected Ousmane Dembele to enjoy such a splendid season with Paris Saint-Germain. The talent in the Frenchman's profile has always been undeniable, but he has often struggled with inconsistencies. However, Dembele has scored an unbelievable 32 goals this term already.

He also has seven assists to his name. Luis Enrique has used him in several positions in attack, and the Frenchman has managed to repay the trust on every occasion. Ousmane Dembele has 3.5 xG in his last five outings.

Joao Neves (Paris Saint-Germain)

Paris Saint-Germain's exploits this season would not have been possible without the impeccable midfield control. Vitinha has been the undisputed main man for Paris, but it cannot be denied that the French champions have benefited greatly from the arrival of Joao Neves in the summer.

The young Portuguese is the perfect profile for Luis Enrique, and he has displayed that several times already. He has seven blocks, nine interceptions, six tackles, and 0.6 xAG in his last five appearances.
