PSG vs Strasbourg

Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Marquinhos, and Achraf Hakimi return post-World Cup.

"We will need to approach our games with a lot of professionalism and ambition; this is like the start of a new season for us. Expect a few goals for Galtier's men and for Stephan's troops to try to keep things respectable so that morale does not take too big a hit. However, it is up to us to think about what will be the right time for them to rest and to decompress in the next few weeks. This should be an easy win for the hosts even if there is a bit of rust after a month or so out of action. Strasbourg: A disastrous season so far does not look like it will get much better given that two of three friendlies were canceled and the one that was played was a defeat to Feyenoord. Without a win since early October, RCSA are unlikely to pick up points here and will be targeting a run of three home games post-PSG to start turning their season around. PSG: Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, captain Marquinhos, and Achraf Hakimi have already reported back for training after the World Cup and are in Galtier's squad for this one. That means that in the meantime, he was able to receive treatment. "There is some excitement because we have not played a league game in six weeks, and we do not know what other teams will look like tactically or physically," said Galtier of the visitors. As long as they are doing well physically and mentally, there is no reason for us to go without them for the next two league games, which will be very important.
