Angers vs Paris FC Prediction & Betting Tips (17 August)

Angers continues a second season in Ligue 1 after having acquired its maintenance in 14th position, after a 2024-2025 exercise made from high and stockings. Emmanuel Dujeux's SCO has prepared this new vintage with the way. However, he had started his series of friendly matches with a defeat against the herbaria 1-0 before he did not collect a goal on the following five outings. He rebounded against Caen 1-0, was hung by Le Havre 0-0 and aligned at the start of the month of the success at the expense of Nantes 1-0, Saumur 2-0 and Lorient 1-0. A good omen before the first day of Ligue 1.

mounted in Ligue 1 after eight seasons at the lower level, Paris FC is an ambitious promoted thanks to the financial windfall of the Red Bull group and the Arnault family among the shareholders of the club. The Ile -de -France residents completed the last exercise in Ligue 2 in 2nd place behind Lorient and started a new era this summer. The PFC has been solid in recent weeks despite a setback against the Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 0-1, mid-July, for its first friendly outing. This was followed by the victories against Saint-Etienne 0-3 and Sion 1-3 then draws in front of Le Havre 1-1 and the team of UNFP 2-2 before a third and last success, last weekend, against FC Nantes 2-3. 

The SCO should rely on the young offensive Chérif and the lateral Raolisoa, many used during the pre-season but released prematurely last weekend. They have since resumed the training path. Lepaul is essential at the forefront of the attack. Already influential last season from the top of his 9 championship achievements, the striker was formidable during the friendly matches by scoring 3 times. Compared to the last exercise, Angers lost the executives El Melali (end of contract) and Aholou (Umm Salal, Qatar) and the second knives Hountondji (D2 Turkish), Ferhat (end of contract), Oul Khaled (Sabah FK, Azerbaijan) and Dieng (loan return, Lorient). The leaders at the same time recorded the arrival of Koffi (loaned by Lens) with the goal and Mouton (ex Saint-Etienne) to organize the game. They should play the leading roles this season. The Parisian workforce was seriously strengthened this summer while the young midfielder Kanté (loan return, West Ham) and the unusual striker Dicko (end of contract) left the club.

In the other direction, the PFC completed the arrival of the Simon offensive asset (ex FC Nantes), the promising Sangui side (ex Reims) and the Brazilian central defender Otavio, from FC Porto. Simon, released as a precaution last week against Nantes, should be there and Otavi can play his first minutes in his new colors. Cafaro finds him the offensive sector after being loaned to Saint-Etienne and Smet, relaunched in the Parisian ranks in the second half last season, was sold for good by Reims. The last city is however suspended. Krasso was the top Parisian scorer on the last exercise in Ligue 2 and scored in the last friendly match. Nkambadio, Kolodziejczak, Kebbal and the former Marseillais M. Lopez are also safe values in the Parisian workforce.
