Ligue 1 returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as newly-crowned champions PSG lock horns with Strasbourg at the Stade de la Meinau on Friday.
Strasbourg vs PSG Preview
Strasbourg are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have consistently punched above their weight this season. The home side suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Lille last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, hold a 13-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings and have mathematically won the league title this season. The Parisians were held to a 1-1 draw by Lens in their previous league game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
