PSG welcome Strasbourg to the French capital on Friday night to mark their return from the October international break in what promises to be an action-packed Ligue 1 showdown.
PSG will be looking to make a new domestic statement here, with Luis Enrique’s superstar side having their sights firmly set on breaking even more records this year, having created real history last season as they stormed their way to their first European title.
Having embarked on an extended fairy tale, Le Racing has rightly received a series of accolades from across the continent, and France’s high flyers will be enjoying a trip to the Parc des Princes this weekend.
With all eyes on Paris on Friday night, here are some of the most appealing PSG vs. Strasbourg bet builder tips.
PSG prepares for potential challenges
PSG may have lost just once in any competition since the start of the new season, but Enrique’s superstar side were left frustrated ahead of the October international break.
The former Barcelona manager, who was last seen away to settle a 1-1 stalemate with domestic rivals Lille, will demand immediate action on Friday night.
But while the reigning European champions may have suffered their only defeat in Ligue 1 in front of their own supporters so far this year, PSG have been looking for defensive stability of late.
Despite a last-minute 2-1 away win against Spanish powerhouse Barcelona earlier this month, Enrique’s side have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last four matches on all fronts.
It should also be emphasized that PSG lost 2-1 in a Ligue 1 clash with Strasbourg on May 3rd at the Stade de la Mainau.
Bet Builder Tip: Both teams score on 8/11 and 1x bet
Barcola takes center stage
Attacking defender Ousmane Dembele was tipped to be named the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner last month, but France’s marquee player has been suffering from a thigh problem and has not featured in Ligue 1 since the end of August.
Former Napoli ace Hviča Kvaratscheria, who could return from his own injury this weekend, is another attacking superstar who could play a leading role here.
Bradley Barcola, who ended up staying in the French capital over the summer following reported interest from the Premier League game against Liverpool, quickly became a key part of manager Enrique’s plans.
In addition to scoring twice in PSG’s 2-0 win over Reims on September 14, the former Lyon star has scored three goals in his first six Ligue 1 games.
It should also be emphasized that no player in Enrique’s team has scored more shots, with 16 shots in six games in the top flight so far this season.

Le Racing asks some questions
Liam Rosenior’s appointment at Stade de la Mainau last year may have raised some eyebrows around Alsace, but Strasbourg have embarked on a sensational rise under the former Hull City manager.
Friday’s guest, who won Europe’s first ticket last season and has deservedly received a string of accolades from across the continent, is in the midst of a public fairy tale.
Le Racing started their famous European Conference League adventure with a 2-1 away win against Slovan Bratislava and have now won four of their last five appearances in all competitions.
Strasbourg could well be in serious doubt this weekend after a resounding 5-0 home win over potential relegation contenders Angers ahead of the two-week break in October.
Rosenior’s side will be enjoying Friday night’s trip to the capital, having won an impressive 2-1 in May when they last faced the reigning European and domestic champions.
