Overview
- Paris Saint-Germain announced a rotated starting XI that makes eight changes from the side that beat Manchester City, with Illia Zabarnyi, Lucas Hernandez, Lucas Digne, Joao Neves, Lucas Beraldo, Dro Fernandez, Ferran Torres and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia selected to start.
- Strasbourg altered their XI from the recent loss to Nice, bringing in Giovanni Reyna, Fabio Balde and Joaquin Martinez Gauna as the home side try to halt a run of domestic defeats.
- Several players are unavailable: PSG are missing Senny Mayulu with a thigh injury, and Strasbourg list multiple absences including Ismael Doukoure and Sebastian Nanasi plus longer-term issues for Joaquin Panichelli, Martial Godo and Maxi Oyedele.
- The fixture will be played at the Stade de la Meinau and is being shown live in the UK on bet365 and in the US on beIN Sports.
- The selection choices reflect context on the pitch: PSG ride a multi-game winning run and sit close to the top of the table, while Strasbourg hope tactical changes and home form can stop their slide in a fixture that has regularly produced goals for both sides.
