PSG vs Strasbourg prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-10-16 18:45.
[p]Ligue 1 returns from the international break with a top-of-the-table tussle, as defending champions PSG host a Strasbourg side who are hot on their heels at the summit.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Despite an early-season injury crisis, PSG have made ideal starts to the defence of both their Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League crowns (W8, D1, L1). The international break came at the perfect time for Luis Enrique’s side, who had won just one of their last three league games and can now welcome back a raft of star names as they look to pull away from the chasing pack. This fixture at the Parc des Princes presents the perfect opportunity, as PSG have won all four home games this term without conceding a single goal. [/p]
[p]Strasbourg are living up to their lofty pre-season expectations, coming into this game just a point adrift of PSG after winning five of their seven league matches this term (L2). Le Racing sit at least five points better off at this stage than in any of their previous eight campaigns, but some alarm may come from the fact that their two defeats have come against Marseille and Monaco – the two sides who finished directly below PSG last season. One of those came on the road, where Liam Rosenior’s men have conceded five times across their last two such league games – as many as in their previous 11 combined.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]PSG have avoided defeat in all 34 of their Ligue 1 home games against Strasbourg (W27, D7), an all-time top-flight record. Strasbourg were victorious the last time these sides met however, running out 2-1 winners on their own turf in May.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Ousmane Dembélé is primed to return for PSG and a goal from him usually promises entertainment, as his last seven scoring appearances in Ligue 1 have come in games that produced over 3.5 total goals. Strasbourg’s Martial Godo is a man in form, directly contributing to four goals across his last two matches (G2, A2).[/p]
[p]PSG will be hoping the likes of Désiré Doué, João Neves and Marquinhos are fit enough to return after recent lay-offs. Strasbourg are hoping to welcome Emanuel Emegha and Mamadou Sarr back from injuries sustained before the international break.[/p]
