Strasbourg host Paris Saint Germain at Stade de la Meinau on Saturday, 17 October, with the home side unbeaten in their last three Ligue 1 matches there and PSG arriving after three straight league wins. The visitors are sixth with 11 points from six games, and they also carry a perfect European record into this trip.
PSG's recent surge
PSG's league form has started to look more like PSG. They have won three straight in Ligue 1, scored 11 goals in six matches and are unbeaten away from home this season.
That attacking edge matters against a Strasbourg side that has already conceded 12 league goals. Sports Mole's preview put it plainly enough, saying PSG's speed and creativity should cause problems for the hosts on Saturday.
Strasbourg's home resistance
Strasbourg's case rests on Stade de la Meinau, where they have gone three Ligue 1 games without defeat dating back to last season. That run gives them something to lean on after last week's 2-1 defeat at Nice dropped them to 11th.
Hugo Oliveira's side have gone three matches without a win, so the margin for error is already thin. The 6-2 win over newly promoted Troyes earlier in that run looks like the outlier, not the pattern.
PSG's away record makes this a stern test for the hosts, and the visitors probably deserve to start as favourites. Strasbourg vs Paris Saint Germain is set for Saturday, 17 October, and PSG's current run gives them the cleaner case.
