PSG vs Strasbourg: Match preview, team news, statistics, possible lineup, expert prediction

PSG vs Strasbourg kicks off at 20:00 [GMT+1] on Saturday, October 19, at the Parc des Princes. 

An impressive start to life after Kylian Mbappé’s departure, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are yet to be defeated in Ligue 1 this season, having won five and drawn only two times.

Unfortunately, Luis Enrique will be concerned that his recent form has only one victory in four games (D2, L1), and it’s one he’ll want to remedy in a hurry coming up against Strasbourg.

However, throwing in a team as good as PSG, carrying a streak of just a single loss in their last 17 home league matches (W11, D5), playing at home is huge.

Strasbourg’s Solid Start

However, Strasbourg, meanwhile, have started the Ligue 1 season well, with just one defeat in seven matches (W2, D4).

This represents their brightest start since they returned to Ligue 1 in 2017/18 and a reason for their fans to dream of European football next season.

But away form is still a concern, with them winless in their last seven league away games (D3, L4).

Although they were up in both of their last two away games, they could not manage to seal a win, and that means they need to improve their road record.

PSG vs Strasbourg: Key Players to Watch

Lee Kang-in has been PSG’s good luck charm, netting at least once and winning by a tallies of at least two in all eight of his scoring starts with the French side.

However, Strasbourg’s Habib Diarra hasn’t been so lucky, seeing three of his last four scoring efforts not help his side to wins (D3, L1).

With PSG conceding exactly one goal in six of their seven league games, Strasbourg may feel they have a chance, but their poor record in Paris suggests it will be a tough task.
