PSG vs Strasbourg prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2024-10-18 19:00.
[p]Life after Kylian Mbappé has got off to a respectable start for PSG, who remain unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season (W5, D2). Expanding their form to all competitions reads just one win from four though (D2, L1), which is something Luis Enrique will be keen to address in double-quick time against Strasbourg as they continue their quest for a fourth-straight Ligue 1 title.[/p]
[p]Doing so at home should boost their belief as they’ve lost just one of their last 17 home league games (W11, D5). Within that run is a 3-0 victory against Strasbourg and a repeat result certainly appears likely given PSG have never lost a Ligue 1 home H2H (W26, D7), incredibly winning 13 of the last 14 such clashes and each of the last ten held on a Saturday![/p]
[p]That makes pretty ominous reading for Strasbourg, but a solid start to the Ligue 1 season in which they have lost just once (W2, D4) should make them feel a little more at ease ahead of their trip to the capital. Since they returned to the top-flight in 2017/18, Strasbourg have never lost as few as one game after seven Ligue 1 rounds, so the more optimistic fans may be dreaming of a first European campaign since 2019/20 next season. [/p]
[p]If such ambitions are to become reality, then they’ll almost certainly have to improve their away form. Strasbourg are winless in seven in away league action (D3, L4), and incredibly have won neither of their last two such games despite scoring three times and leading in each (D1, L1)![/p]
[p]Players to watch: A goal from PSG’s Lee Kang-in is usually a lucky omen as the French club have won by a 2+ goal margin on all eight of his scoring appearances. On the flip side, Strasbourg will be feeling shaky if Habib Diarra nets, as they’ve won on none of his last four scoring appearances (D3, L1). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: PSG have conceded exactly once in six of their seven league games this season. [/p]
