Just need 1 more point in the away match at La Meinau against Strasbourg in round 37 of the French First Division Football Championship (Ligue 1) 2022 - 2023, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will officially be crowned champion 1 round early.
PSG are currently at the top of the rankings with 84 points (6 points more than the second-placed team, Lens). If they score in this penultimate match, the team at Parc des Princes will successfully defend the Ligue 1 championship this season, regardless of the result of the match between Lens and Ajaccio. Even if they lose to Strasbourg and Lens do not win against Ajaccio, coach Christophe Galtier and his team will still be crowned champions 1 round early. And that will be the 11th Ligue 1 championship in PSG's history.
In recent rounds, PSG has regained its form with 6/7 recent victories. If he successfully defends the championship, Mr. Galtier will go down in Ligue 1 history as the first coach to lead a team from the first round to the last round of the season.
PSG's most outstanding player right now is still striker Mbappe, the French striker has scored 8 goals in the last 5 matches, and is leading the Ligue 1 top scorer list with 28 goals.
However, PSG's away trip this time is expected to be difficult. The home team is determined to get points to stay in the league. Strasbourg is ranked 15th on the rankings, 6 points above the danger zone, so they will be determined to get a draw to stay in the league successfully.
-PSG won 8 and drew 3 in the last 11 confrontations between the two teams.
-Away from home, PSG won all 6 recent rounds in Ligue 1.
At this finishing stage, Strasbourg is playing in good form. Coach Frederic Antonetti and his team have won 4, drawn 1 and lost only 1 in the last 6 rounds. Just needing a point against PSG, Coach Antonetti will help his team escape successfully 1 round early. That is a huge motivation for Strasbourg players to enter the match to welcome PSG at home.
La Meinau Stadium has recently been considered a dangerous place for visiting teams. Here, explosive performances have helped Strasbourg temporarily escape the danger zone to open the door to relegation. The home team has won 4/6 recent rounds against Ajaccio 3-1, Reims, Nantes and Nice with the same score of 2-0. Strasbourg's scientific counter-attacking style has helped them only concede 4 goals in the last 6 rounds, a significant reduction compared to the number of goals they have conceded since the beginning of the season.
Meanwhile, Strasbourg's attack is playing more and more sharply, scoring in 10 consecutive matches. It can be said that coach Antonetti has built a balanced playing style for his team. With what has been shown in recent rounds, this decisive match is expected to make PSG "skin and bones peel".
In this match, PSG is rated higher than the home team and will be determined to celebrate their championship with a victory. They will dedicate a good match to affirm their position as the number 1 football team in the Hexagonal Country.
The match between Strasbourg and PSG will take place at 2:00 on May 28.
Expected starting lineup of the 2 teams:
Strasbourg: Sels, Perrin, Nyamsi, Le Marchand, Doukoure, Ibrahima Sissoko, Sanson, Guilbert, Diarra, Bellegarde; Habib Diallo
PSG: Donnarumma, Marquinhos, Ramos, Danilo Pereira, Zaïre-Emery, Verratti, Ruiz, Bernat, Messi, Ekitike, Mbappe
