This Saturday, as part of Matchday 11 of Ligue 1 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Angers (15th) at the Stade Raymond Kopa (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on DAZN in France). On the eve of this encounter, the press tried to guess the team that will be fielded by Paris coach Luis Enrique and that of his Angers counterpart Alexandre Dujeux.
Angers :

Every team seems possible, although we can’t be certain until the official announcements are made. Angers has always had the same line-up since the start of the season, but that doesn’t mean we can’t expect a surprise in order to adapt to PSG. There may also be specific choices in terms of players. Even if it’s logical to field the same eleven as the one that just beat Monaco.
On the Parisian side, there are a lot of uncertainties, apart from the fact that we can expect some rotation after a big week. There have only been two days of rest since the 1-2 defeat by Atlético de Madrid, which has taken its toll both physically and mentally.
It remains to be seen exactly how the players feel, some of whom may need to play again straight away to wash away some of the frustration and sadness. Others need to be given a chance to show their worth, if they’ve earned it in training. We won’t know for sure until the official announcement.
