Paris Saint-Germain travel to Strasbourg on Friday evening with the Ligue 1 title already secured.

All wrapped up, Mauricio Pochettino’s men now face a Strasbourg team whose season is far from over as they fight for European qualification. One point behind Nice in fifth, Strasbourg have faltered slightly of late, winning only once in their previous four league outings.
Here is 90min preview of it.

No new worries for Julien Stephan and his men, even if they still have many absentees.
Dimitri Lienard, Jean-Eudes Aholou, Nordine Kandil, Marvin Elimbi, Abdul Majeed Waris and Ismael Doukoure are all likely to continue their spell on the sidelines.
Pochettino will have to manage without injured Leandro Paredes, Julian Draxler and Mauro Icardi for this trip, and will have to wait and see if Abdou Diallo is fit enough to make the squad.
Elsewhere, Idrissa Gueye will be out through suspension, which will likely result in an opportunity for Danilo in the middle of the park.
There’s a very bizarre atmosphere around PSG at the moment – getting booed in the process of securing the league title isn’t exactly usual – with disappointment and frustration proving the overwhelming emotions of a season nearing its end. end.
The objective for the Parisian team is now to continue its momentum and make a festival for its supporters during these last four league matches. Their football throughout the season, however, suggests that a carnival might not be happening.
Pochettino’s side struggled at the best of times to really show their talent as a collective and, against a Strasbourg side vying for European qualification in a thrilling race, this juggernaut of a team could leave his fans a little flat once again.
Prediction: Strasbourg 1-1 PSG
