Strasbourg v Paris Saint-Germain: Can the champions extend their winning run?

Strasbourg welcome five-time defending Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain to Stade de la Meinau on Saturday, hoping to preserve their unbeaten home record this season. Here is a guide to the key betting angles ahead of the match.

The hosts dropped to 11th after losing 2-1 at Nice last weekend, while Paris Saint-Germain moved up to sixth with a 3-1 home victory over Le Mans. Only three points separate Luis Enrique’s side from leaders Monaco before the seventh round of fixtures.

Strasbourg have endured an inconsistent spell despite a strong start to the autumn. Hugo Oliveira’s team opened last month with a 6-2 victory over promoted Troyes but have since gone three matches without winning.

They will hope the return to Stade de la Meinau can change their fortunes. Strasbourg are unbeaten in their past three Ligue 1 home matches, a run which began last season.

However, they have surrendered five points in two of their past three league games after taking the lead. A draw or defeat on matchday seven would be the third occasion this year on which they had dropped points in successive home league matches, and the first time that has happened this season.

Strasbourg have taken points in two of their past three league meetings with Paris Saint-Germain. Their most recent home win against the champions came in 2025, when they prevailed 2-1.

Paris Saint-Germain appear to be finding their rhythm after a difficult opening to the campaign. Victory would make it four consecutive Ligue 1 wins, one short of their longest league winning run this year.

The reigning champions of the Champions League are unbeaten away from home this season and have a perfect record in Europe. They have scored 10 goals in total, matching the record for goals after the opening two matches of a Champions League campaign.

Since the start of 2024, Paris Saint-Germain have dropped points in only two league away matches in which they scored first and have suffered just one defeat during that period. They are also unbeaten in seven of their past eight competitive away fixtures against Strasbourg, winning this match 2-1 last season.
