Strasbourg team news
Strasbourg will be without several key players. Captain Emanuel Emegha is dealing with a leg injury and will not play. Others missing include Mathis Amougou (ankle), Andrew Omobamidele (calf strain), and Maxi Oyedele, all sidelined due to injuries.
Strasbourg’s attack will rely on Argentine forward Joaquín Panichelli, who has scored eleven league goals in nineteen matches, making him one of Ligue 1’s standout young talents. Panichelli recently scored and assisted in a strong performance against Lille.
PSG team news
PSG faces lineup challenges due to injuries. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will miss the match with a sprained right ankle, which he sustained against Newcastle in the UEFA Champions League. This opens an opportunity for Désiré Doué to start in his place.
Midfielder Fabián Ruiz is also out with a left knee contusion. Lee Kang-in has returned to training after an ankle injury, but Quentin Ndjantou remains sidelined with a muscle injury.
New recruit Dro Fernández is fit and could make his debut. Lucas Chevalier is expected to start as goalkeeper.
Form
Strasbourg
Since Gary O’Neil took over, Strasbourg has gone unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions. Their recent 4-1 win against Lille highlighted their attacking strength and determination.
Strasbourg currently sits seventh in Ligue 1 with 30 points, just one point behind sixth-placed Rennes, keeping their hopes for European qualification alive.
PSG
PSG is looking to recover after failing to secure direct qualification to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League due to a draw with Newcastle. In Ligue 1, they have won their last five matches and will take the top spot with a win against Strasbourg. Last week, they defeated Auxerre 1-0 away.
Predicted lineups
Strasbourg: Penders; G. Doue, Sarr, Doukoure, Chilwell; Barco, El Mourabet; Moreira, Enciso, Godo; Panichelli
PSG: Chevalier; Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Mbaye; D. Doue, Dembele, Barcola
