Paris Saint-Germain, who won a historic treble last season, come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the north of France a couple of weeks ago before the October international break.
PSG defeated Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, won the UEFA Super Cup on penalties against Tottenham Hotspur are top of Ligue 1 after seven matches but the defending champions of all competitions haven’t quite been at their best just yet.
Strasbourg preview: Silky Strasbourg
An entertaining Strasbourg side, coached by former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior, begin the eighth match day of the 2025/26 Ligue 1 campaign sitting tucked inside the top three and the UEFA Champions League spots after a brilliant start.
A couple of weeks ago, the Alsace-based outfit went into the October break on the back of a 5-0 annihilation of Angers, courtesy of braces from Joaquin Panichelli and Martial Godo, as well as a strike from Abdoul Ouattara.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Strasbourg prediction
Paris Saint-Germain have lacked their fluency this season due to a curtailed pre-season as a result of participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, and the Parisiens have also been dealing with plenty of injury issues. They now face a Strasbourg side that have been excellent throughout the campaign and will fancy themselves to create against a potentially disjointed PSG side. PSG remain favourites in the capital but it should be an easy on the eye watch for the neutral.
