Paris Saint-Germain and Strasbourg kick off round eight of the French Ligue 1 when they lock horns at the Parc des Princes on Friday. Liam Rosenior’s men have lost each of their last six trips to Paris since a 2-2 draw in April 2019 and will be looking to end this poor run.
Paris Saint-Germain were left feeling disappointed in their final outing before the international break as they were held to a 1-1 draw by LOSC Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on October 5.
Before that, Luis Enrique’s side made it two wins from two in the UEFA Champions League on October 1, when Senny Mayulu and Goncalo Ramos hit the target in a 2-1 victory over Barcelona.
Paris Saint-Germain have picked up five wins from their seven Ligue 1 matches so far, while losing once and claiming one draw to collect 16 points and sit top of the league table.
On the other hand, Strasbourg turned in another standout performance last time out when they thrashed Angers 5-0 at the Stade de la Meinau.
Rosenior’s men have now won four of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 2-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava in their UEFA Conference League opener on October 2.
Strasbourg have picked up 15 points from their seven Ligue 1 matches so far to sit third in the league standings, level on points with second-placed Olympique Marseille and Olympique Lyon in fourth place.
