PSG vs Strasbourg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 19th 2024

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will invite Strasbourg to the Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The reigning champions have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their campaign, winning five of their seven games. The visitors have lost just one of their seven games, though four have ended in draws.

The hosts met Nice before the international break and were held to a 1-1 draw, as Moïse Bombito's own goal helped them equalize in the second half. They dropped to second place in the standings after the draw, as Monaco moved to the top after recording their sixth win of the campaign earlier this month.

Le Racing extended their unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 to four games earlier this month with a 2-2 home draw against Lens. Loubadhe Abakar Sylla scored in the first half while Habib Diarra added the second goal from the penalty spot after the break.

PSG vs Strasbourg Prediction

Les Parisiens have seen a drop in form recently, with just one win in their last four games across all competitions. They have a 100% home record across all competitions, scoring 13 goals in four games, and will look to continue their prolific run here.

The hosts play PSV in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, so Luis Enrique is likely to start key players from the bench. Lucas Hernández, Gonçalo Ramos, and Presnel Kimpembe remain sidelined with injuries.

Les Bleu et Blanc have enjoyed a four-game unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 and will look to build on that form. They have just one win in their last 12 away games in Ligue 1. They are winless in this fixture since 2017 and might struggle here.

They have a lengthy absentee list for the trip to Paris as Alaa Bellaarouch, Thomas Delaine, Caleb Wiley, Moïse Sahi Dion, and Milos Lukovic are nursing injuries. Guéla Doué and Ismaël Doukouré will serve suspensions due to yellow card accumulation.

Considering the reigning champions' home record in this fixture and Strasbourg's absentee list, the hosts should be able to eke out a narrow win.
