PSG must not release too much pressure in the championship. After its lackluster draw against Brest (2-2), the capital club must resume its march forward against Strasbourg, this Friday evening, February 2, to avoid seeing its pursuers get a little too close to its throne. Luis Enrique’s players are in fact 6 points ahead of their runner-up from Nice.
The Spanish coach will still not be able to count on Achraf Hakimi, who benefits from a few days of rest after the CAN, and on Kang-in Lee, competing with South Korea in the Asian Cup. Good news: Nuno Mendes has returned to work with the group and should be ready soon.
Surprisingly undefeated for three months and a defeat on the lawn of Reims on December 1 (2-1), Strasbourg will have nothing to lose against PSG and hopes to integrate a little more into the first part of the Ligue 1 table. The Alsatian club has not lost to Paris at home for almost 3 years.
Pointing to tenth place in the championship, the RCSA will have the opportunity to put pressure on Marseille (7th) and temporarily come back to within one point of the Phocaeans before the Olympico scheduled for Sunday evening.
Strasbourg-Paris Saint-Germain kicks off this Friday, February 2 at 9 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast in full on Prime Video and can be followed live with commentary on leparisien.fr.
