PSG vs Strasbourg Prediction & Betting Tips (19 October)

To everyone's surprise, PSG is not first in the Ligue 1 standings after the first 7 days. He was, at least, before failing to come away victorious in Nice 0-0, a match which preceded the international break in October. The three-time reigning French champion still remains undefeated in a championship in which he has the best attack, scoring 21 goals. He has also dominated all his opponents at home in all competitions. The most important thing this Saturday will be to continue this series for a Parisian team which has only won one of its last 4 matches including tax. In the Champions League, the Rouge et Bleu are left with a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Arsenal and will host PSV Eindhoven in the middle of next week with the ambition of making London forget the setback. Strasbourg is doing quite well this season in the championship.

Defeated only once, the Alsatian club ranks 7th with 10 wins out of 21 put into play so far. He even created the feat at the end of September by dominating Olympique de Marseille 1-0 at home. Racing followed up with a points share at home against Lens 2-2, just before the international break. This draw is the 3rd for Strasbourg in their last 4 meetings. Note that Strasbourg has not recorded any away victory since the start of the year. His record away from home is a 4-3 defeat at Lyon and two draws. 

The Parisian infirmary was emptied before the international break. However, we still find the long-term injured like Gonçalo Ramos, Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez. The last two cities are in the recovery phase but it would be very surprising to see them return to the group this weekend. Otherwise, all other Parisian executives should be operational. Up front, the arrows Dembélé (4 goals, 3 assists) and Barcola (6 goals) should start well. At the center forward position, the Spaniard Asensio and the former Nantes player Kolo-Muani (2 goals) will be in the balance to start. He regained confidence by scoring a double with the Blues against Belgium this week.

The doorman now replacing Bellaarouch, and the striker not yet used this season Sahi Dion will not be traveling to the Parc des Princes, both injured. Serbian striker Lukovic, the young full-back Wiley (two summer recruits), defenders Senaya and Sarr and the more experienced Delaine must also give up being part of the group. Finally, right back Guela Doué and midfielder Doukouré will both be suspended after accumulating too many yellow cards recently. On the other hand, coach Liam Rosenior can rely on his attackers like Andrey Santos, Emegha and Nanasi who have all scored 3 times this season. Against Lens, it was defender Sylla and midfielder Diarra who were decisive.
