Paris Saint-Germain travel to Strasbourg this Saturday buoyed by a run of four consecutive wins, including a resounding Champions League victory. The Parisian club, currently fifth in the league with eleven points, aims to maintain its domestic momentum after Wednesday's 4-2 win at Manchester City.
The starting lineup is expected to be unchanged from the one fielded at the Etihad Stadium. Safonov will start in goal, behind a defence of Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho and Nuno Mendes. The midfield trio will be Warren Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz, with the attack led by Maghnes Akliouche, Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, who opened the scoring in Manchester.
This fixture presents an opportunity for Paris Saint-Germain to close the gap on the top spots. The club sits three points behind leaders Monaco and faces a Strasbourg side in eleventh place. Strasbourg are coming off a loss to Paris FC and a draw with Monaco. Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, has strung together wins against Brest, Marseille, Le Mans and City. The absentees remain Sény Mayulu and Alexandre Longoni. Kick-off is at 17:15 local time at the Stade de la Meinau.
