PSG – Strasbourg. Forecast and announcement for the match of the French championship

On October 17, the match of the 8th round of the French Ligue 1 will be held at the Parc des Princes, in which PSG will meet with Strasbourg. The match will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.

PSG

The team towers above all others in French football. And, having once again collected the entire set of domestic trophies, at the beginning of the summer it achieved the main goal formulated by the current, ambitious and rich, Middle Eastern owners: Luis Enrique won the Champions League. In the summer, the UEFA Super Cup was also added, although for this it was necessary to play back dramatically against Tottenham, pressing it in a penalty shootout. And before that there was a defeat by Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup.

Now the priority for the capital club is the Champions League. And everything is fine there: 4:0 with Atalanta and 2:1 in Catalonia with Barcelona. But there were already misfires in the domestic arena: they lost to Marseille completely, Lille was allowed in the last round, in the last round they were allowed to play back in the 85th minute at 1:1.

Strasbourg

The club fell into the hands of the same American investors, led by Bowley, as Chelsea. And, like the English, also showed long-awaited progress last season, scoring 57 points. True, the sixth place, according to additional indicators, was lost to Lyon. Still, they tried to take away his right to play in the Europa League, but the opponent defended his right to play in a higher ranking tournament.

As a result, Liam Rosenior’s wards are limited to the Conference League – there they knocked out Brondby in the qualifiers, and they started the main round in Bratislava with a 2:1 victory against Slovan. At the same time, the pace does not drop in the championship either. There they lost to Monaco and Marseille, but the other matches also ended with victories, which allows them to actually share second place and one point behind the Parisians.

Statistics of personal meetings

Parisians, of course, dominated this pair. But in May, they conceded to this rival.

Forecast

Bookmakers naturally consider the capital grand as the favorite of the couple, and at home he should win. But the motivation of Zabarny and company in League 1 is not particularly high – we bet on guests with a handicap of +2 goals (coefficient – 1.63).
