PSG, currently the league leader, will host Strasbourg, sitting third and only one point behind the reigning champions. The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 local time.
PSG recently drew 1-1 against Lille and aims to regain their winning form. They face a Strasbourg team struggling against top competitors, having lost to both Monaco and Marseille in recent matches.
Team Updates and Lineups
Manager Luis Enrique has seen his injury list diminish ahead of this crucial match. Notably, Désiré Doué returns to the starting lineup after recovering from a calf injury, marking his first game in over a month.
