Strasbourg v PSG

updates

FT
Strasbourg triumphed at home against PSG, extending their unbeaten streak to 12 matches. Liam Rosenior's side now sit fourth in Ligue 1, and with their current form, they’ll surely be eyeing a spot in the top three. PSG, on the other hand, likely had one eye on their upcoming Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal, evident from their numerous changes to the starting XI. Despite creating a 1.59 xG to Strasbourg's 0.73, Luis Enrique's men couldn't make the most of their opportunities, leaving them to rue missed chances - particularly those from Ramos - as Strasbourg held firm. The Blue-and-Whites face 15th-place Angers in their penultimate league match. Meanwhile, PSG will turn their focus to a crucial Champions League semi-final, where they’ll look to protect a slender one-goal advantage in the second leg. That's all we have time for this evening. It's goodbye for now!

HT
Strasbourg head into the break two goals up, courtesy of an own-goal from Hernandez and a late first-half strike from Lemarechal. Rosenior's side have been clinical in the opening 45 minutes, scoring twice from just a single shot on target. While PSG have enjoyed more possession, they've struggled to create clear-cut chances in the absence of their regular starters. The Blue-and-Whites have registered an xG of just 0.38, but they'll hardly mind, as it’s been enough to make the difference so far. PSG’s best opportunity came early through Ramos, yet their xG sits at just 0.67 - highlighting a frustrating half in front of goal.

38'
Possession is shared evenly at the moment, with neither side managing to assert a real dominance since the opener.
36'
Luis Enrique's men are struggling to finish their chances, and with none of the starting front three from the Arsenal game in today's lineup, that could be a key factor.

24'
EMEGHA MISSES A ONE-ON-ONE!! The Dutch striker is played through, with two Strasbourg players nearly colliding as they chase the same ball. His shot goes straight at Safonov, who clears it with his legs. The linesman, however, eventually raises his flag for offside.

Strasbourg are probing for a second here. Bakwa picks up the ball 30 yards out, drives to the edge of the box, and wins another corner.
20'
OWN GOAL!

PSG, having already claimed their fourth successive Ligue 1 title, come into this game off the back of a midweek triumph away at Arsenal in the Champions League semi-final first leg. Luis Enrique’s side are unbeaten in 39 on the road in Ligue 1, and have the opportunity to record one of the club’s greatest-ever seasons.

Strasbourg aim to extend their unbeaten league run to 12 matches as they take on PSG, eager to bolster their European ambitions. Only PSG (38) have taken more points in 2025 than Liam Rosenior's side (37), highlighting the league’s two in-form teams. However, if the hosts are to maintain this form, they’ll need to overcome a troubling record - with just two wins from their last 34 meetings with the Parisians.
