PSG vs Strasbourg Prediction: Les Parisiens to hold off Rosenior’s men

Paris Saint-Germain will look to maintain their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table when they host Strasbourg at Parc des Princes on Friday (19:45 BST). The hosts are sat on 16 points, while the third-placed visitors have 15.

Both have had strong starts to the season and this looks to be a fascinating encounter. Read on for my PSG vs Strasbourg predictions, accompanied by the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Joao Neves are all dealing with hamstring strains for PSG, so their involvement at the weekend remains uncertain.

Captain Marquinhos and Senny Mayulu may both miss out again because of thigh issues.

A slight hip injury could keep Fabian Ruiz out of the starting XI here, though Desire Doue may be given the green light to return to the side, having missed several games with a calf problem.

He could be deployed in a midfield role, while the attacking spots are filled by Lee Kang-in, Goncalo Ramos and Ibrahim Mbaye. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia may be named on the bench ahead of the Uefa Champions League match at Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.

Football Odds

Saidou Sow is sidelined for Strasbourg due to a knee problem, while Mamdou Sarr is having issues with his leg. Emanuel Emegha is doubtful with a knock, while Sebastian Nanasi nurses a shoulder issue.

Ben Chilwell could be set to feature after missing the last match through illness, while Maxi Oyedele (muscle) remains doubtful to take part.

After scoring braces against Angers last time out, Martial Godo and Joaquin Panichelli will be looked to for inspiration in Paris. The latter is the joint-top scorer in the division with five goals so far.

Today's Football Fixtures

PSG vs Strasbourg Odds

PSG have won all of their home games in Ligue 1 thus far in 2025/26 and they are 2/7 to come out on top here. They have kept clean sheets in each of those matches and they are 5/4 (implied probability of 44.4%) to win to nil.

The draw is priced at 5/1 while Strasbourg are 9/1 to stun the defending champions. The visitors have won three of their past four league fixtures.

Under 2.5 goals has been a successful bet in PSG's three home matches in Ligue 1, and this is valued at 7/4 for Friday.

PSG and under 3.5 goals @ 13/10

This will be an interesting test for Les Parisiens. Strasbourg have been a growing force under Liam Rosenior and their third-place standing in the league table is justified based on their performances.

They have been going toe-to-toe with PSG so far in the top flight and I think they will put up a decent fight against them inside Parc des Princes. With question marks still surrounding some of the hosts' big hitters, Rosenior and his players will be sensing an opportunity on Friday.

The visitors have been in excellent form and they are showing that they can rely on a handful of players to come up with the goods. But facing PSG on their home patch is a different beast.

The home side have won all four games here across all competitions this season - without conceding a single goal. The understudies who are having a good run of minutes in the side are fulfilling Luis Enrique's brief to the letter, and I think this should help them to another victory here.

PSG's home league games so far have seen no more than two goals scored, so the addition of under 3.5 goals seems the smart play.

Both teams to score - Yes @ 4/5

PSG are yet to be breached at home but I think Strasbourg are the ones to be the first visiting side to score here. Both teams to score - Yes has been a winning selection in the visitors' last two road trips in Ligue 1, as well as each of their previous three head-to-head contests with their hosts.

As I mentioned earlier, both Godo and Panichelli bagged braces against Angers last time out, and the latter's five-goal tally is the joint-highest in the division. Rosenior's team may just present PSG with problems they have not yet faced here in 2025/26.
