Strasbourg Preview: Silky Strasbourg

Strasbourg supporters remain unhappy with BlueCo ownership but former Hull City boss Rosenior has done an excellent job in charge of the Alsace-based outfit as they chase a top four finish and potential UEFA Champions League qualification from Ligue 1 this season.

The home team come into this one on the back of another impressive performance as they defeated relegation-battling Saint-Etienne by three goals to one last weekend at Stade de la Meinau thanks to goals from Diego Moreira, Emmanuel Emegha and Dilane Bakwa.

Paris Saint-Germain Preview: Focus on Europe

Paris Saint-Germain were dominant in midweek but could only manage a 1-0 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the first-leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final tie, courtesy of a fourth minute winner scored by France international attacker Ousmane Dembele.

Luis Enrique’s PSG have been magnificent for most of this season and they are chasing the treble this month but the Parisiens failed to become the first ever French side to go unbeaten throughout a domestic campaign due to a 3-1 defeat to Nice at Parc des Princes last weekend.

Strasbourg Team News: No need to change

With their excellent form of late and no fresh injury concerns or suspension issues, there is no need for Strasbourg to make any changes this weekend, albeit they do remain without forward Moise Sahi due to an Achilles injury.

Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Petrovic; Doukoure, Omobamidele, Sarr; Bakwa, Santos, Barco, Diego Moreira; Lemarechal, Nanasi; Emegha

Unavailable: Moise Sahi (Injured)

Paris Saint-Germain Team News: Fully fit

Paris Saint-Germain have a fully fit and available squad for this weekend but the likelihood is that Luis Enrique makes some changes for this one as they rest and rotate ahead of the second-leg against Arsenal in the French capital during the week.

Predicted XI (4-3-3): Safonov; Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Mendes; Doue, Mayulu, Ruiz; Barcola, Ramos, Lee

Strasbourg vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction

Strasbourg have been extremely impressive since the start of December with that aforementioned comfortable defeat of struggling Saint-Etienne last weekend meaning they have now suffered just one loss in their last 18 matches in Ligue 1. They now face a PSG side that don’t have the unbeaten record to play for and are also distracted by their tie with Arsenal so rare back-to-back domestic defeats for PSG may well be a good bet to back for this weekend.

Strasbourg vs Paris Saint-Germain Tip: Double chance – Strasbourg to win or draw
