Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will welcome Strasbourg to the Parc des Princes in the Ligue 1 on Saturday, as league action resumes after the international break.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last three league outings, recording two wins. In their previous outing, they bounced back from a 4-1 loss against Newcastle United in the UEFA Champions League, with a 3-1 away triumph over Rennes in Ligue 1.
Vitinha and Achraf Hakimi scored four minutes apart in the first half and Randal Kolo Muani added the third goal in the second half. They trail league leaders Monaco by just two points and are in third place in the league table with 15 points from eight games.

PSG vs Strasbourg Prediction
Les Parisiens are unbeaten in their last 12 meetings against the visitors. They have scored at least once in their last 19 meetings against them, and are strong favorites. Head coach Luis Enrique remains without the services of Nuno Mendes, Presnel Kimpembe, Sergio Rico, and Marco Asensio through injuries.
Lee Kang-in has played just three times in all competitions for the hosts thus far but scored thrice in two games for South Korea in an international friendly. He might be given the nod to start here.
Les Bleu et Blanc are winless in their away games against the hosts in all competitions. They have failed to score in six of their last 10 away games in this fixture and might struggle here.
Head coach Patrick Vieira is expected to be without the services of Ângelo Gabriel and Emanuel Emegha, as they missed the latest training sessions. Kevin Gameiro is a doubt and faces a late fitness test.
They have suffered defeats in three of their last four away games in Ligue 1, scoring just twice while conceding seven times. Considering the hosts' dominance in recent meetings against the visitors, as well as home advantage, we back them to record a comfortable win.
