You can explore our French Ligue 1 betting tips to see which teams are likely to come out on top.
Main Betting prediction: Over 3.5 goals
Our first betting prediction pertains to the Over/Under market: we anticipate over 3.5 goals in the match. Both clubs have been involved in several high-scoring fixtures this season; PSG’s attacking record (13 goals in seven matches) and Strasbourg’s 14 goals point to a contest where multiple goals are likely. Moreover, PSG’s tendency to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities, combined with Strasbourg’s counter-attacking threat and recent emphatic offensive performances, increases the probability of a scoreboard with several entries. This selection complements the both-teams-to-score recommendation and aligns with an expectation of an open, end-to-end encounter at the Parc des Princes. The specific bookmaker odds for Over 3.5 at 1win is 1.89.
Tip 2: Home win (Paris Saint-Germain)
Our principal betting prediction is a 1X2 selection in favour of the home side: Paris Saint-Germain to win. PSG’s superiority in squad depth, attacking productivity and the absolute comfort of a perfect home record in the current domestic campaign underpin this assessment. Under coach Luis Enrique, PSG have combined coherent tactical structure with individual quality across the frontline and midfield, which tends to be decisive in high-pressure home fixtures at the Parc des Princes. Strasbourg, while compact and efficient under Liam Rosenior, have one defeat already this season and a history that shows parity but not dominance against the Parisians over recent meetings (H2H: PSG 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 Strasbourg win in the last five). Given PSG’s league position (1st) and recent consistency at home, the value is on backing the hosts. Best available 1X2 odds provided: Home win (Tip 1) at Paripesa with odd 1.33.

Tip 3: Both teams score? Yes
The third betting prediction addresses whether both teams will score: our recommendation is Yes. Strasbourg have shown a willingness to commit men forward and have recorded 14 goals in seven matches this term, indicating an attacking potency that will test PSG’s defensive lines. Conversely, PSG average close to two goals per game and possess attacking players capable of breaking down disciplined defences. Recent fixtures suggest both sides have an ability to find the net even when results are mixed, and the expectation of an open game—given Strasbourg’s appetite when playing away and PSG’s offensive thrust—supports a both-teams-to-score selection. Best available odds for this market: Both teams to score — YES at 1xbet with odd 1.78 (NO offered at Paripesa with odd 2.00).
