[Football- France 'Ligue 1'] 11.1/ 21:00 PSG- Angers

PSG welcome back World Cup winner Messi who will hopefully be in ruthless mood against inferior opponents.

Angers are in poor form, blanking away to fellow strugglers Strasbourg in cup action last weekend, and they failed to score in their last 3 away league games against opponents including Lille and Monaco.

PSG's home form has been exceptional, closing out wins even in games where their complacency has led to conceded goals.

I expect there to be value backing against PSG in the handicap markets in upcoming games, particularly away from home.

However, there is a clear gulf in quality between Angers and PSG in both attack and defence, and Angers is simply not the team to spring a surprise against PSG at this point of the season, be it in the handicap let alone moneyline markets, because PSG's main attackers are back in the lineup and relatively fresh right now.

On the team news front, Mbappe (rested) and Hakimi (suspension) are not in the PSG squad for this match, but Messi and Neymar are back. Angers will not have key midfielder Azzedine Ounahi available for this game.

For those who prefer not to risk the handicap for this match, playing the first or second half match goal total could be safer, as there should be goals in both halves.
