Strasbourg also have a handful of injured players. Ben Chilwell, Emanuel Emegha, Mamadou Sarr, Maxi Oyedele and Saidou Sow will all miss out against PSG.
PSG are once again showing their dominance in the French top flight. The Parisians occupy top spot after seven games, having won five of them and drawn one. Luis Enrique’s men have so far managed to edge past Nantes, Angers, Toulouse, Lens and Auxerre and find a point against Lille in their most recent game. However, in the meantime, the Red and Blues did pick up a defeat to Marseille at the rear end of September. This puts PSG on 16 points in total, on a one-point pedestal. However, three clubs are chasing them down, as Marseille, Lyon and Friday’s opponents Strasbourg have all tallied up 15 points each.
The latter comment on Strasbourg ultimately sums up how they are doing, as their points tally implies they are performing very well. The Blue and Whites sit third in Ligue 1, after having won five and lost two from their opening seven matches. As previously mentioned, this now means their points tally calculates 15, just one point adrift of top spot. Last term, Strasbourg managed to finish seventh in the table, becoming one of their highest ever placements. But it seems to keep getting better. Of course it won’t be easy, but a win against PSG on Friday could really set their sights.
As expected, PSG have heavily dominated this fixture in recent years. Following an away loss in 2017, the Parisians went on a 15-game unbeaten run against Strasbourg.
However, in the most recent affair, it was Friday’s visitors that won the tie, as Strasbourg picked up a 2-1 win back in May.

Football Park’s Best Bet: PSG to Win @ 1.25 (Betfred).
(odds are subject to change)
Nuno Mendes (PSG) - With PSG’s heavy list of injuries, they are in need of other players stepping up to take control. One of those could be Nuno Mendes. The Portuguese had a fantastic season last term, and has already picked up one goal and one assist this campaign. The goal came off the bench in his last game against Lille.
Joaquin Panichelli (Strasbourg) - The Argentine has been on top form so far this season, having already bagged five goals in seven games. Two of those goals came in his last match against Angers, in a 5-0 victory.
