Paris Saint-Germain were breathtaking at times in their midweek win over Manchester City, but it has not been the smoothest of starts for Luis Enrique's side on the domestic front.
Holders PSG dazzled in that UEFA Champions League 4-2 win over City but found themselves sixth in Ligue 1 entering the weekend.
They are clearly gathering momentum, however, and should collect three points at a Strasbourg side with just one point from the last nine on offer.

Strasbourg v Paris Saint-Germain Prediction
Best Bet: Paris Saint-Germain to win & both teams to score @ 11/8
PSG were sublime in the first half at Man City in midweek, roaring into a 3-0 lead with some superb goals. They were pegged back in the second half and have now achieved just one shutout in their last 12 games in all competitions.
They have leaked multiple goals in four of eight recently and have a track record of conceding this fixture, with both teams netting in all of the last 12 meetings at the Stade de la Meinau.
Strasbourg haven't shut PSG out in any of the last 25 head-to-heads and both teams have scored in 10 of the last 11 games featuring Hugo Oliveira's side.
Those trends may continue now but, after failing to win any of their first three Ligue 1 games of the season, PSG are upping the tempo and can make it six successive wins in all competitions, with both teams on target in four of the previous five.
Alternative Bet: Ferran Torres anytime goalscorer @ 20/21
Ferran Torres only had a cameo in Manchester in midweek, coming off the bench for the final 15 minutes. After such a high intensity clash, Luis Enrique may look to shuffle his cards and the Spaniard can return to the starting XI.
Torres had scored seven goals in seven club appearances prior to the City game, with four goals in six in the early knockings of his Ligue 1 career.
The former Barcelona frontman can add to that tally here.
