Paris Saint-Germain v Racing Strasbourg: Match Preview, Team News, Predicted Lineups

After being knocked out of the Coupe de la Ligue by minnows Guingamp, Paris Saint-Germain will be hoping to get their hands on the Coupe de France as the French giants host Strausbourg at home.

PSG have once again been the dominant team in France as they are yet to lose a match in the league. The last match against bottom dwellers Guingamp saw the Parisians exacting revenge on their opponents by scoring nine goals, with Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani scoring a hat trick each.

Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to win at least one domestic cup after their shock exit in the French League Cup.

Strasbourg have been one of the surprises of the season so far, as they already have upstaged popular clubs like Olympique Marseille, OGC Nice to race to the 5th spot with 32 points.

The last match saw the visitors thumping French giants AS Monaco 5-1 at the Stade Louis II as Ludovic Ajorque scored twice to set up a memorable win over the Thierry Henry-managed side.
