Here are some important details to keep in mind ahead of Saturday’s Ligue 1 McDonald’s match between PSG and Strasbourg.
The international break has come to an end, and on Saturday, October 19th, Paris Saint-Germain is back in action as they take on RC Strasbourg for Matchday 8 of the 2024/25 Ligue 1 McDonald’s season.
Luis Enrique’s squad is looking to boost their morale following a challenging 2-0 loss to Arsenal in their last UEFA Champions League match, along with a 1-1 draw against OGC Nice in the previous round of the French league.
Given this, the Parisian team must regain their form to compete with AS Monaco, the current leaders of the league.
PSG has not lost any of their 33 home matches against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 (26 wins, 7 draws), setting the record for the longest unbeaten home run against the same opponent in the history of the top division.
PSG has conceded at least one goal in 12 of their last 14 Ligue 1 matches (16 goals), including all of the last five. However, the capital club has also scored in their last 17 L1 matches (48 goals).
Strasbourg has lost only one of their first seven matches in Ligue 1 for the 2024/25 season (2 wins, 4 draws), their best record at this stage of the season since 1995/96 (finishing 9th that season).
