Strasbourg – PSG

PSG may well face difficulties in their away game against Strasbourg

PSG play away against Strasbourg in the 35th round of the French league. The Parisians have already secured the league title ahead of schedule, so bookmakers believe that PSG may not take this game seriously. This is partly true, but even in this state, Paris are capable of beating Strasbourg. Strasbourg are far more motivated, but their squad is weaker. PSG have scored five goals against Lorient, six against Clermont and three against Angers in recent weeks. It was more difficult with Marseille, but they still scored two goals. And if Mauricio Pochettino decides to do a big rotation and give young players a chance, their lack of experience and class will be compensated for by a much greater motivation and attitude, linked with a desire to prove their worth and competitiveness. Strasbourg are in sixth place and are showing very organised football. They are just three points behind third place but Lens, Lyon and Lille are coming from behind. All teams are competing for places in the European competitions. The focal points for Strasbourg are their organized play, good balance, well-coordinated combination play and assertiveness. The fact that Strasbourg broke their 11-match winning streak last matchday by losing away to Lille will also add intrigue to this game. And they conceded only in the 87th minute. Strasbourg have won ten matches and lost only three, with four draws. PSG have won nine away games, lost four times and drawn four. So the Parisians are not that impressive away. Interestingly, PSG have scored four goals each in the last three matches between these teams. In the first leg of this league season, the Parisians won 4-2. Ajork is the best striker who has scored 12 goals in Ligue 1 this season. PSG have Mbappe in the lead with 22 goals and Neymar with 11. So does Diallo of Strasbourg. They are the teams' second-leading scorers.
