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

On February 1, as part of the 23rd round of the French League 1, Strasbourg will play PSG. The meeting is scheduled to start at 21:45 Kyiv time.

Strasbourg

This season, Strasbourg looks solid, performing well in three tournaments. The club became the first in the main round of the Conference League, so it will wait for the opponent in the 1/8 finals. In the French Cup, they also reached the 1/8 finals, where they will play against the strong Monaco.

Strasbourg is seventh in French Ligue 1, just one point behind the top six. In the last round, the team managed to beat the strong Lille on the road – 4:1, this made it possible to extend the unbeaten streak to four matches, during this period it was possible to score 8 points. Recently, the head coach Liam Rosenior left the club, he is now the coach of Chelsea, he was replaced by Gary O’Neill. Four players will not be able to help their partners in this confrontation.

PSG

The Parisians are only interested in trophies, they are still second in the championship, one point behind Lance, but they can regain the lead, as they have a game in hand. In the last round, PSG beat Auxerre 1:0 away. The club was unexpectedly relegated from the French Cup, having conceded at an early stage in the Paris derby – 0:1.

This week, Luis Enrique’s men played in the Champions League, where they drew 1:1 at home with Newcastle. This draw did not allow the Parisians to finish in the top-8, they finished in the 11th row, now they will have to face Monaco in the round of 16.

Let me remind you that the colors of the club are defended by Ilya Zabarnyi, who consistently appears on the field in the championship. Four players will not be able to take the field in the upcoming match.

Personal meetings

In the first round, the teams staged a spectacular battle, Strasbourg led 3:1, but in the end the match ended with a score of 3:3. Opponents often delight with effective football, in the last five matches three goals were consistently scored.

Forecast

The Parisians are favorites for the upcoming battle, which is a kind of template for bookmakers. Strasbourg is an uncomfortable opponent for PSG, which knows how to attack and realize its moments. I expect football on the opposing courses, with such a game the home team can grab the points. In such a confrontation, I suggest betting on the exchange of goals at 1.62.
