Paris Saint-Germain vs Strasbourg: Prediction and odds on the Match on 17 October 2025

Paris Saint-Germain resumes their title defense in Ligue 1 with a tussle against Strasbourg this Friday. The match will be played at Parc des Princes. The reigning champions have picked up 16 points from seven games and currently sit at the top of the league standings with a one-point cushion, and Strasbourg, in third place, has accumulated 15 points thus far.

Paris Saint-Germain entered the international break with disappointment written on their faces. Their last league outing against Lille didn't turn out the way they had hoped for. Nuno Mendes opened the scoring for the French giants in the 66th minute; however, they were pegged back 19 minutes later when Ethan Mbappe scored the equalizer to force a 1-1 draw on the road.

Les Parisiens have now avoided defeat in two league games after suffering their first defeat of the season against Marseille on September 22.

Luis Enrique's charges are out to make it three games unbeaten by securing a favorable outcome in this match. As things appear, that is possible considering their dominant display at the Parc des Princes. At this venue, they've maintained a 100% record, winning each of their last three games without conceding a goal.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Strasbourg match prediction, 17 October 2025

Paris Saint-Germain is a superior side in this fixture and should be able to secure maximum points. This could turn out to be a revenge match as they seek to destroy a side that condemned them to a second league defeat in the previous season. Despite missing some of their key players in this match, I'm confident that their victory here is inevitable. Don't expect a high-scoring affair, considering the total has gone over in just one of their last seven matches.

Strasbourg have made a promising start to the season, and it's also true that they head into this clash with four wins in their last five away matches across all competitions. However, keeping French giants like Paris Saint-Germain at arm's length will be an arduous task. I see them being competitive from start to finish but not enough to avoid defeat.
