- Paris Saint-Germain have won their last seven games, scoring 24 times in that run.
- Strasbourg have only won one of their 15 Ligue 1 games this season, beating bottom club Angers in October.
- PSG have scored 43 times in 15 league matches this campaign, averaging almost three goals per game.
Ligue 1 champions set for comfortable return
Paris Saint-Germain entered the World Cup break five points clear at the top of Ligue 1, having recorded 13 wins and two draws from their 15 games in the French top flight this season. With second-bottom Strasbourg visiting the Parc des Princes when domestic football returns to the capital on Wednesday, Christophe Galtier’s men will expect to post an eighth consecutive win, even with some of their attacking stars likely to be absent.
PSG have scored 24 times while winning each of their last seven games, a sequence which has included 5-0, 4-3 and 7-2 victories. Galtier’s men have scored a total of 43 goals in 15 league games this season, and even with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe likely to be absent following their World Cup exploits, they should have more than enough to beat Julien Stephan’s out-of-form visitors.
Indeed, Strasbourg have only won one of their 15 Ligue 1 matches this campaign, beating Angers – the only club bellow them in the table – in early October. Just as concerningly, Strasbourg have only kept one clean sheet all campaign, and they have conceded 19 times in their last eight games. Having shipped 15 goals in their last four meetings with PSG, the visitors will not expect much festive cheer on Wednesday.
PSG can beat handicap – even without World Cup stars
While PSG’s superior quality and Strasbourg’s poor form makes the handicap market appealing for Wednesday’s match, the expected absence of the hosts’ attacking stars may mean punters limit their ambitions to backing a two-goal home win.
While PSG to beat a -1 handicap is our main play, a 3-1 home victory may represent a decent correct score prediction, with four of the champions’ last five games featuring goals at both ends.
