PSG – Strasbourg: Initial situation
As usual PSG has the highest ambitions in Ligue 1 and Champions League and the real question is whether they have the roster to attack the title in both competitions. They had a couple of setback so far in the domestic season and Strasbourg believes that this may be the moment for them to take at least a point as a souvenir from their visit of Paris.
PSG Stats & Form
We are used to see PSG on top of the standings of Ligue 1 but things are not going so smoothly this time around. The team from the French capital trails to Monaco with 17 points out of 7 games. PSG has a busy schedule and recently lost their first game in the last 14. Theys imply stood no chance against Arsenal in London losing that one by 2-0. That had an impact on the following game in Ligue 1 and PSG played only 1-1 when visiting Nice on the French coast. As usual, PSG is the best-scoring team in Ligue 1 with 21 goals so far in the season and only Montpellier has a higher goals average in total in the league. Bradley Barcola is PSG’s top scorer with six goals so far in the Ligue 1 season.
Strasbourg Stats & Form
Strasbourg is not among the teams who can make any noise in Ligue 1 and being in seventh place at the moment can be considered as success considering their previous seasons. Having only one loss in seven games is something their fans can be happy with and given the schedule, the downfall will probably start in Paris. Strasbourg has three draws and a 1-0 win over Marseille in the last four contests. They are coming off a 2-2 draw against Lens in the last matchday. Emanuel Emegha and Andrey Santos are the top scorers on the team with three goals each.
PSG – Strasbourg: Head to Head
PSG has won 7 of the last 10 games against Strasbourg with three draws. Last season, they won both games, 3-0 at home and 2-1 on the road. The last time Strasbourg defeated PSG was in the 2016-17 season. Five of their last nine head-to-head games went over 3.5 goals in total.
PSG – Strasbourg: Odds
PSG is a major favorite going into this one with the odds of 1,30. The odds for Strasbourg’s win are 9,35 while the draw is set at 6,35. The total goal line is set at 2.5 with 1,36 for over and 3,15 for under.

Betting tip and prediction: PSG – Strasbourg (19.10.2024)
PSG won the last three titles in Ligue 1 in dominant fashion, and this looks like the season when they will be pushed to their limits. With Kylian Mbapee leaving this offseason, the team does not look the same, and they have no offensive superiority against the opponents. The team from the Parc de Princes is currently second in the standings with a two-point deficit behind Monaco. PSG has won 5 of 7 games so far in the season, with Nice and Reims being the teams to escape undefeated. When it comes to the home games, PSG has a perfect record in three contests with a +10 goal differential. When predicting the outcome of PSG’s game, we have to consider their appearance in the Champions League, and for this game specifically, the fact that most of the players on the roster were away with their national teams. Besides that, PSG coach Luis Enrique will not count on Goncalo Ramos, and Ousmane Dembele is questionable. That should not be a problem against Strasbourg, but we have to point out that the Blue and Whites have a solid season. Losing only one of seven games so far is something no one really expected of this team. They are playing much better at home than on the road, where they have two draws and a loss. Thinking about beating PSG on the road is not something every team can seriously consider, but the fact that Strasbourg has nothing to lose in this game can give them a chance to play without any pressure. The first-year head coach, Liam Rosenior, will not be able to count on three defenders who have an important role on the team. Frenchman Marvin Senaya and Mamadou Sarr, and American Caleb Wiley are out when the team needs them the most. There is no doubt that PSG is the major favorite to win this one, but since the odds for that option are too low, we go with over 3.5 goals in total.
