Strasbourg and Paris Saint-Germain have named their starting teams for their meeting at the Stade de la Meinau in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
The hosts are aiming to avoid a third straight defeat, having spurned a lead to lose 2-1 at Nice last Sunday in a repeat of the scoreline they were beaten by at Paris FC on September 19.
Hugo Oliveira’s side have taken four points from two home matches, beating Lens 2-1 on August 29 and drawing 1-1 with Monaco on September 12.
PSG started Saturday three points behind leaders Monaco and are on a run of five straight wins in all competitions following their 4-2 victory at Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday.
