Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will entertain 19th-placed Strasbourg at the Parc des Princes as they resume their Ligue 1 campaign on Wednesday after a six-week hiatus.
The hosts are the only team in the French top-flight without a defeat to their name, while the visitors have just one win so far this term. PSG have won their last five league games and in their previous outing, they secured a 5-0 win over Auxerre.
Strasbourg have struggled this season and are winless in their last five league games. In their previous outing, they played out a 1-1 draw against Lorient.
Both teams will be looking to resume their league campaign with a win but PSG have the upper hand in this home game and are strong favorites.

PSG vs Strasbourg Prediction
PSG have scored 10 goals in their last three home games in Ligue 1. They are unbeaten at home across all competitions and will be looking to keep their undefeated home run intact in this game.
As they have never suffered a defeat at home against Strasbourg, they are likely to produce a strong display. Lionel Messi will not be available for the game but Kylian Mbappe has been training regularly with the team and is expected to start here.
Le Racing's only win this season across all competitions came in their away game against Angers in October. They have scored at least two goals in their last three away games and the odds of them scoring at least one goal in this match look good.
Nonetheless, we are backing the hosts to eke out a comfortable win.
