Strasbourg vs PSG Predictions and Betting Tips
The Stade de la Meinau is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter in the Ligue 1 as Strasbourg play hosts to PSG this Friday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Winning the last four and unbeaten in nine against their opponents, PSG have been the dominant side in this fixture. Would Strasbourg finally have an answer for Les Parsiens this time around ?
Strasbourg keen on a place in Europe
Strasbourg, since securing promotion to the French top-flight four seasons ago has been considered a mid-table club but their escapades this season have been far above this. A 56-point haul in 34 league matches this season puts them in 6th position with just three points separating them from 4th-placed Monaco whilst a single point is the difference between them and Nice in 5th position. Defending champions Lille put an end to their 10-game unbeaten run in the league last weekend but all hopes for a spot in Europe aren't lost for Julien Stephan and his troops with four games left to play. Only four teams have a better home record than Strasbourg in the French top-flight this season and as such, we expect them to put on a show in front of their supporters even against the newly-crowned French champions.
For the eighth time in ten seasons, Les Parisiens end the season as the best team in the French top-flight. A Lionel Messi scorcher in the draw against RC Lens last weekend proved to be enough to clinch the title for Pochettino and his troops who, with four games left to spare, sealed the domestic title. In some way, this would still be termed as a disappointing season for the capital club who capitulated in both domestic cups and they would also go yet another season with the Champions League still eluding them after being eliminated by Real Madrid in the Round of 16. Off-the-field issues are still there to solve for Les Parisiens but we still expect them to be looking towards securing all three points in the remainder of the season starting from this Friday's opponents.
