Paris FC host Strasbourg this Saturday September 19. The Parisian club, currently fifth in the table with 8 points, aims to solidify its strong start against an Alsatian side sitting in sixth place.
Paris FC approaches this fixture with mixed results from their last five outings. Following a goalless draw at home to Lyon last weekend, Régis Le Bris's side had secured two significant victories, including a 3-2 win at Marseille powered by a Lassine Sinayoko hat-trick. The Malian striker is the team's top scorer this season with 4 goals in 4 appearances. The Parisian defence, which has conceded only twice in four games, will face a stern test.
Régis Le Bris could deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation, similar to the one used against Lyon. Kevin Trapp is expected in goal, shielded by a central defensive trio of Sofiane Chergui, Daniele Coppola and Hamari Traoré. In midfield, the reunion of Pierre Lees-Melou and Mattéo Lopez will be key, while the attacking impetus from Luca Koleosho and Ilyes Kebbal will be vital to supply Lassine Sinayoko. The Parisian staff has a full squad available for selection.
A win would allow Paris FC to close in on the podium, sitting just two points behind leaders Lille. The match promises to be tight against a Strasbourg side that recently held Monaco to a 1-1 draw. Paris FC's upcoming fixtures schedule is demanding, underlining the importance of securing points at home.
