In the match of the eighth round of the French championship, PSG will host Strasbourg at home. After a break for international matches, it is always difficult for top clubs to regroup and show an acceptable result. Strasbourg may take advantage of this in the very first encounter of the next round of Ligue 1. Moreover, PSG generally looks quite exhausted, especially in domestic competitions. After seven rounds in the French championship, a very tough and close battle for the lead has emerged. PSG is unable to break away as they did in previous seasons. Now the Parisians have many competitors. Marseille, Lyon, and Strasbourg are just one point behind them, while Monaco and Lens are three points adrift. Thus, the next round will immediately start with a heated confrontation. In the previous round, Strasbourg defeated Angers 5-0 in Ligue 1, previously losing to Marseille (1-2), overcoming Paris (3-2), and beating Le Havre (1-0). From a closed-style football at the start of the season, they have moved to a more daring and attacking approach. PSG is forced to play simultaneously in the Champions League. In the league, they drew with Lille (1-1) in the last round, while in the Champions League, they previously defeated Barcelona away (2-1), overcame Auxerre (2-0), and unexpectedly lost to Marseille (0-1). So, PSG's performance cannot be called flawless. After the international break, it may be even more unbalanced. Last season, the current opponents exchanged home victories. PSG won at home 4-2, while Strasbourg was stronger than the Parisians at home with a score of 2-1. We expect a tough battle now as well.
