Paris Saint-Germain, despite holding the top spot after seven matches, are looking to regain the dominant form that saw them secure a historic treble last season. Their last outing before the international break was a hard-fought 1-1 draw away to Lille. While they have secured important victories, including a UEFA Champions League win over Barcelona, the Parisian side has been grappling with consistency and a series of injuries to key players.
Strasbourg, under the guidance of Liam Rosenior, has been the surprise package of the season. They enter this match sitting third in the league, level on points with second-place Marseille and just one point behind PSG. Their confidence will be sky-high following a stunning 5-0 demolition of Angers before the break, a match that showcased their potent attacking threat.

Team News and Predicted Lineups
Paris Saint-Germain: The reigning champions are contending with several fitness concerns. Key defender Marquinhos is expected to be unavailable due to injury. There are also significant doubts surrounding the availability of wingers Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola, as well as midfielder Désiré Doué. Manager Luis Enrique will have to rely on his squad’s depth to overcome these potential absences.
Strasbourg: The visitors are also missing their captain and starting striker, Emmanuel Emegha, due to a hamstring injury. However, the impressive form of Joaquín Panichelli, who scored twice in their last match, provides a capable replacement. Strasbourg will likely continue with the 5-2-3 formation that has brought them success this season, aiming to be defensively solid and quick on the counter-attack.
