Strasbourg will entertain Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the Stade de la Meinau in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The hosts have 54 points and are seventh in the standings. They trail third-placed Lille by just two points and will look to secure a direct spot in the UEFA Champions League group stage by finishing third by the end of the season.
Les Bleu et Blanc have enjoyed a great run of form and extended their unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 to 11 games last week. They returned to winning ways after two consecutive draws, as goals from Diego Moreira, Emanuel Emegha, and Dilane Bakwa helped them record a 1-0 home win over Saint-Etienne.
The visitors saw their unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 end last week as they fell to a 3-1 home loss to Nice. Nonetheless, they bounced back with a 1-0 away win over Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League semifinal earlier this week. Ousmane Dembélé continued his fine form and scored the match-winner in the fourth minute.

Strasbourg vs PSG Prediction
Les Bleu et Blanc need to avoid a loss here if they are to keep their Champions League hopes alive. They have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight home games, recording six wins, and will look to build on that form. They are winless in their last five Ligue 1 home meetings against the visitors, playing out three draws.
Moïse Sahi-Dion is the only absentee for the home side and Liam Rosenior is expected to field a strong starting XI here.
Les Parisiens have already secured the league title and, after suffering their first defeat of the league campaign last week, there is really nothing much left to play for them in the league. Notably, they have scored at least three goals in six of their last nine meetings against the hosts.
Luis Enrique will focus on the Champions League meeting against Arsenal at home next week and rest key players. There is no confirmed absentee for them and Ousmane Dembélé is likely to be left out of the squad for this match.
While the hosts have enjoyed impressive form, considering the visitors' dominance in this fixture, a high-scoring draw will likely ensue.
