PSG vs Angers – Squad Comparison & Match Outlook
1. Core Team Comparison
PSG’s core team is vastly superior to Angers in terms of individual quality, international pedigree, and statistical output. Key figures like Donnarumma, Hakimi, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz, Dembélé, and Marquinhos ensure balance across defense, midfield, and attack. PSG’s attacking midfielders and forwards offer high creativity and consistent goal output.
Angers, while showing cohesion and fight, lack the same star power and technical depth. Their most notable contributors like Himad Abdelli and Esteban Lepaul provide goals, but across the pitch their minutes and experience are not on the same level as PSG’s proven internationals.
2. New Players Comparison
PSG’s recruitment has been targeted at strengthening their spine. Zabarnyi (3,113 minutes) already plays a major role in defense, showing reliability at the top level. Meanwhile, Angers’ new players such as Louis Mouton (1,045 minutes) and Hervé Koffi (450 minutes) add squad depth, but their impact has been limited in scale. PSG’s new arrivals bring immediate quality, while Angers’ signings are more developmental.
3. Substitutes Comparison
PSG’s substitutes bench is world-class. Names like Nuno Mendes, Lee Kang-In, Gonçalo Ramos, and Kvaratskhelia would start in most Ligue 1 sides. They provide goals, assists, and game-changing quality. Crucially, PSG have retained all their substitutes — no depth has been lost.
Angers, in contrast, lost three substitutes: Ibrahima Niane (936 minutes, 2 goals), Zinedine Ferhat (842 minutes, 2 goals), and Bamba Dieng (523 minutes, 2 goals). These were important attacking outlets from the bench, meaning their ability to change matches late on is now weakened. The rest of their bench is serviceable but lacks the same experience or output as PSG’s.
4. Match Prediction
With PSG playing at home and possessing overwhelming superiority in their core team, new signings, and substitutes, they hold a decisive edge. Angers’ weakened bench and limited attacking firepower make it difficult for them to compete across 90 minutes. Expect PSG to dominate possession, create more chances, and convert through their high-quality forwards.
