PSG will intend to continue their 100% win record at home when they face Strasbourg this weekend.
However, after seven rounds, the champions aren’t at the top of the table. They are currently two points behind Monaco, but three ahead of Marseille, who sit in third.
Although their away form has been somewhat lacking, three home wins on the bounce have been rather impressive. Scoring 12 goals in the process has also caught the eye since Kylian Mbappe’s departure.
Their opponents have had a similar story so far. Excelling at home, but yet to win on the road, Liam Rosenior’s team are very much one for the neutrals to enjoy.
Despite drawing two and losing one away from home, they’ve scored seven and conceded eight. It certainly hasn’t been dull, and this match appears set to be one of the more intriguing fixtures in Ligue 1 this weekend, making our PSG vs Strasbourg predictions even more exciting.
Earlier this week, former PSG head coach Thomas Tuchel was announced as the new England manager.

PSG have won their three home Ligue 1 games to date, but our PSG vs Strasbourg predictions suggest there’s reason to believe they may have to work hard to earn their points this weekend.
Strasbourg may have failed to win on the road this season, but they’ve held on at half-time against Montpellier, Lyon and Lille. Their latest 3-3 draw against Lille saw them head into the half-time break locked at 2-2, despite conceding two goals within 27 minutes.
If they fall behind, Strasbourg rarely back down, and PSG are no different. The champions came from behind to beat Brest 3-1 in round four, before sweeping Rennes away by the same scoreline in their following match.
Many wondered how PSG would perform without Mbappe, but they have managed well so far, largely due to the efforts of a 22-year-old Bradley Barcola. Having scored six goals in seven Ligue 1 appearances, he’s currently leading the golden boot race in the early exchanges of the season. Our 18/1 ante post tip seems rather promising.
Although he hasn’t scored since his opener against Rennes last month, the young forward found the back of the net for France against Israel during the international break.
He will undoubtedly return to Paris with a spring in his step, and Barcola has the opportunity to score his sixth goal at home, where he clearly shines.
We shouldn’t underestimate the visitors as they have proven they are capable of scoring on their travels. While this might be their biggest test to date, Liam Rosenior has inspired confidence in his side to play boldly and push forward.
Not only has his side scored in every Ligue 1 game this season, but they’ve also scored an impressive eight goals on the road in their three matches.
They need to tighten up defensively, and that is unlikely to happen away at PSG. However, scoring three against Lille and Lyon was very encouraging.
Both teams to score has landed in two of PSG’s three home matches and in all three of Strasbourg’s away games.
