The reigning champions of France will kick off the action in Ligue 1 this weekend, as PSG chase a return to winning ways after being held last weekend. This could be a challenging match on the road against a Strasbourg side that have gone five without a defeat.
Ligue 1 Preview
PSG once again lead the way in the French top-flight, as they look to successfully defend their title in 2023-24. The Parisians have won two of their last three matches, and they have lost just once in 19 league outings this term. However, they are just six points clear at the summit, meaning that they will need to keep their performance levels high.
Strasbourg will have the important home advantage this weekend, as they look to extend their unbeaten run in the top flight. However, they have played out draws in their last two matches, leaving them sitting tenth in the current standings. But, a victory could take them up to ninth.
Strasbourg have avoided defeat in their last six matches in the competition. If they avoid defeat against PSG this weekend then they will match Patrick Vieira’s longest unbeaten streak in Europe as manager, which currently stands at seven during stints with Nice and Crystal Palace.
PSG played out a draw against Brest in their last match in the competition, but they haven’t gone two straight matchdays without a victory since the opening two weeks of the season. The draw against Brest was also the first time this season that PSG have scored twice and failed to land victory. Interestingly, Strasbourg have won their last two home matches, and they could win three on the bounce in front of their home fans for the first time since November 2019.
Strasbourg vs PSG Head to Head
The home side have a poor record in this fixture, having failed to land a victory in their last eleven matches against PSG in the league. Over that period, they have suffered seven defeats. However, both teams have scored in the last eight league meetings between the sides at Stade de la Meinau.
Strasbourg vs PSG Prediction
PSG have been in excellent recent form, and they would have been kicking themselves after dropping points after taking a 2-0 lead last weekend. Therefore, we expect to see a response by the leaders, and we expect them to comfortably land victory this weekend.
