Strasbourg vs PSG Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1

Prediction published on 02/02/2024, 06:43  by Daniel Ngulu in Ligue 1 Predictions

PSG will travel to Strasbourg in their next Ligue 1 game as both sides look to return to winning ways. League leaders PSG are looking to open up a nine-point lead as Strasbourg seek to rise to the top half of the standings. Strasbourg have injected some stability into their run lately, and come into this game unbeaten in the last eight games. Two draws in their last three matches have however slowed down their momentum. The hosts failed to hold onto their first half lead against Clermont in their last game, seeing it end 1-1. That was their third straight game in which both sides scored. One area Strasbourg have struggled with is in defence, keeping just two clean sheets in their last 15 matches. In nine of their last 10 matches, both teams got to score. To this game, Strasbourg takes an eight-game unbeaten run, winning five. They have straight wins at home in the last two games, and they are unbeaten in their last four home matches, all in Ligue 1. However, in their last five matches at home, they have one clean sheet only, with both sides scoring in four.

This is a fixture that PSG has prevailed in in their recent meetings. However, not all has gone to plan in their recent visits to Strasbourg. PSG have failed to win in their last two visits to Strasbourg and they’ll be out to break that duck here. In their last 13 meetings with Strasbourg, PSG are unbeaten, winning nine. Only two of those nine wins came away from home, so PSG will have reason to be wary here. The champions are coming from a 2-2 draw with in-form Brest, and having thrown away a 2-0 lead in that game will haunt them. The result is another story of their defensive weaknesses, a matter the Parisians will have to address coming here. Goals from Marco Asensio and Kolo Muani had PSG in firm control, but they capitulated in the second half. A poor second half also saw them finish the game with 10 men after Bradley Barcola’s late red card. PSG have managed just one clean sheet in their last six meetings with Strasbourg; the other five games had both teams scoring. In PSG’s last five away matches too, both sides scored in three.
