Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Nice, PSG will be aiming to return to winning ways when they welcome Strasbourg to their Parc des Princes. Key PSG players are back from international duty, but boss Luis Enrique is expected to shuffle his pack against Le Racing. All Marco Asensio, Kang-In Lee, and Vitinha are pushing for recalls, while both Presnel Kimpembe and Goncalo Ramos remain in the treatment room. A man to watch in the home team will be France attacker Randal Kolo Muani, who scored a brace in a 2-1 win over Belgium on Monday evening.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on a five-game losing run at Parc des Princes and given their difficulties on the road, especially at the back, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the away team, both Guela Doue and Ismael Doukoure are sidelined through suspension.
Highlighted Team (PSG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
