Saturday afternoon, PSG moves to Strasbourg for a meeting of the 28th day of Ligue 1. Strasbourg wants to relaunch itself in the race for Europe while PSG may be a little bit ahead of its return leg match of Champions.
After having missed its start to the season, Strasbourg has very well replaced to the point of being able to hope for a place in the European Cup. Winners of Toulouse (0-1) and Reims (3-0), they held Lyon (1-1) and then Amiens (0-0) in check. However, last week, the Alsatians did not see the light of day on the Montpellier field (3-0) and fell to 10th place in the ranking, just 2 points from a potential place in the European Cup .
Opposite, PSG obviously largely at the top of the ranking with 13 points ahead of its first pursuer, Marseille. In recent weeks, Thomas Tuchel’s men have not really reassured as the Champions League 1 / 8th final against Dortmund has approached. Held in check by Amiens (4-4), the Ile-de-France lost to the Germans in C1 (2-1) by completely missing their match. Subsequently, they showed flaws against Bordeaux (4-3) despite the victory and were more reassuring against Dijon (4-4). Finally, Wednesday evening, the Parisians travel to Lyon on behalf of the semi-finals of the Coupe de France.
Strasbourg still cannot count on defender Caci, and substitutes Prcic and Botella who remain in the infirmary. With 8 goals, the Ajorque center forward will be watched.
For Paris, captain Thiago Silva, the fairly fragile midfielder Herrera and the replacement side Dagba and Bakker should not make the trip to Alsace but Kimpembe is back from suspension. Di Maria should be there. At the front, Mbappé, the top scorer in the championship (18 goals) will no doubt be aligned.
The probable compositions for Strasbourg vs PSG:
Strasbourg: Sels – Lala, Koné, Mitrovic, Djiku, Carole – Sissoko, Bellegarde, Liénard – Waris, Ajorque.
PSG: Navas – Kehrer, Kouassi, Diallo, Bernat – Sarabia, Marquinhos, Gueye, Neymar – Cavani, Mbappé.
PSG had narrowly won the first leg (1-0).
Paris plays the following week in the Champions League a match which will undoubtedly determine the success of its season.

A few days before its return match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, PSG could come to win in Alsace at the end of a match they could want to animate with rhythm.
