The current league leaders in the French top-flight return to action trying to keep their unbeaten run in the competition.

Club football returns to France in full throttle after the end of the FIFA World Cup, and PSG will try to keep up the good work with a convincing win over Strasbourg, one of the teams battling to avoid relegation.

PSG are still unbeaten in the tournament, with a record that shows thirteen wins, two draws, and an impressive haul of 43 goals. On the defensive side of the game, PSG have also dominated their rivals, conceding only nine times in fifteen games.

The defending champions may see this game without some of their international players, as Lionel Messi and Achraf Hakimi have been given time off following their run in the World Cup. Other players such as Neymar and Mbappé may be around, but only time will tell the level of involvement in this clash.

On the other hand, Strasbourg really need to step things up if they want to keep their spot among Ligue 1's finest. The Blue and white side has only been able to win one game throughout the season, making them the team with the least wins after fifteen matches in the French top-flight.

Any chance of success Strasbourg may have of earning points here will be fueled by the presence of Kevin Gameiro and Habib Diallo, who have combined for eleven goals out of Strasbourg's seventeen in the tournament.

Here are some interesting facts to keep an eye on before this match kicks off.
