The post-Kylian Mbappe era at PSG hasn’t been without its setbacks to this point, but losing their grip on the Ligue 1 title would be unthinkable.

Luis Enrique’s Parisians come into this first round following the international break sitting two points behind Monaco after playing out a draw against Nice in their previous match.

PSG are still yet to lose this season, and they will be heavily favored in the betting to claim maximum points on Saturday.

However, Strasbourg shouldn’t be entirely dismissed. The French side have avoided defeat in their last four, and are sitting just outside of the European places after seven rounds of matches.

Odds

As expected, PSG are heavy odds-on to claim maximum points at the Parc des Princes on Saturday. A shock win for Strasbourg is priced up at +865.
