A Duel in the Heart of France

Key Stats
– PSG have never been defeated by Strasbourg at home since 1975.
– Kylian Mbappe leads the Ligue 1 scoring chart with seven goals.
– PSG boast a staggering 70% ball possession rate this season.

Paris Saint-Germain are eager to rebound from what can be termed as one of their most lacklustre commences to a season under the Qatari regime. Occupying third place post the international interval, they seek to reassert themselves in the Ligue 1. The onus is high on the Spanish manager, Luis Enrique, to mend relations with the PSG fans, particularly after the staggering 4-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United in the Champions League. Enrique is skating on thin ice, with a sequence of disappointing displays underscoring the team’s need to refine their league performance. Shocking draws against Lorient, Toulouse, and Clermont and a home defeat against Nice paint a dismal picture.

Yet, there’s a silver lining: PSG’s performance has been commendable against significant clubs. Their triumphs against Borussia Dortmund, Lens, Lyon, and Marseille stand testimony to this. Their recent 3-1 victory over Rennes could serve as the catalyst to regain their lost momentum.

Strasbourg’s Uphill Battle In contrast, Strasbourg seem to be in somewhat good stead. Currently managed by Patrick Vieira, the team finds itself in the 11th position, but history doesn’t favour them, with a jinx spanning over 36 matches since 1975 without a win against PSG at their home turf. Strasbourg’s recent history is a mixed bag with a decent beginning to this season but lingering memories of the last season’s brush with relegation. Their recent defeats against Lens and Nantes might weigh heavy on their morale, especially with an upcoming challenging fixture list.

Players to Watch and Absences The limelight will undoubtedly be on Kylian Mbappe, PSG’s ace, who has already netted seven times this season, leading the Ligue 1 scoring list. Mbappe’s prowess was recently on display in France’s fixture against the Netherlands. However, Enrique will have to strategise without Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi, Layvin Kurzawa, and Randal Kolo Muani, who face suspensions. Strasbourg won’t be with Emanuel Emegha and Karol Fila, both sidelined due to injuries.

The midfield may be the deciding area for this match, with intense player duels expected. Strasbourg will have to counter PSG’s strong possession play, which boasts a 70% ball possession rate.

Opinionated Insights: Both teams have areas to improve upon. For PSG, while they shine against big clubs, their complacency against lesser teams needs addressing. Strasbourg, on the other hand, needs to find consistency and break historical jinxes. Enrique, despite his pedigree, needs to find a way to bring consistency to PSG’s game.

Expected Goals Analysis: PSG boast an average of over 2 goals a match, whereas Strasbourg’s defence will be under the scanner given PSG’s formidable attack.

Predictions

Given the data, here are the predictions:

  1. Win-Draw-Away Prediction: PSG’s form against prominent clubs and Strasbourg’s historical inability to defeat PSG away suggests a win for PSG. However, it won’t be a cakewalk given the absences PSG has to contend with.
  2. Correct Score Prediction: Considering the form of both teams and their recent matches, a 3-1 victory in favour of PSG seems plausible.
  3. Goalscorer Prediction: Kylian Mbappe is the top contender, given his current form and his lead in the Ligue 1 scoring charts.
  4. Corner Prediction: Historically, PSG has been strong in this area. The prediction is PSG will have more corners, with a total of approximately 9-10 corners in the match.
