PSG are preparing for a game against a team hovering around midtable when they visit 13th-place Angers on Saturday. Luis Enrique may be tempted to rotate his team ahead of the huge Champions League semi-final clash against Bayern Munich next Tuesday. Vincent Kompany's side are still in the hunt for a treble after beating Leverkusen 0-2 in the DFB Pokal Semi-final.
The European champions bounced back from Sunday night's 1-2 defeat at home to Lyon with a comprehensive 3-0 win at home to Nantes. The league is not wrapped up for Luis Enrique's side as they are four points above Lens and still have to play them at the Stade Bollaert Delelis in May.
The French champions should not let up, as if they think of next Tuesday's game, they run the risk of dropping points again. Les Parisiens can't afford to drop points, as the title will be in Lens' hands with a few games left in the league campaign. PSG should be confident of overcoming a side that is on the beach. Angers were mathematically safe weeks ago and can't qualify for Europe.
