Match: The head of L1 but also a historic record at stake during PSG/

Poster for this Saturday evening (9 p.m.), PSG/ has a double challenge for the capital club: the possibility of regaining the lead in L1 but also of continuing an absolutely historic series of results against the Alsatians.

On paper, the poster is rather nice between a PSG which offers a nice show at home this season and an RC Strasbourg which benefits from its shareholder to align some big talents under the control of a coach clearly more focused on attack than the defense. Rarely considered a poster child given that the Alsatians are unaccustomed to first places, PSG/Strasbourg nevertheless promises to be rich in goals since the match will pit the best and fourth attack in L1 (21 and 14 goals).

In the league, the record is 26 wins and 7 draws in 33 matches.

No opponent who has played as much at the Parc des Princes succeeds better in Paris than the Alsatians, obviously, and their 33 receptions without any defeat against the same opponent are even a record on the scale of Ligue 1 as the institute explains. of Opta statistics in L’Equipe. Racing 2024/2025, which has only won two matches this season and collects draws, will therefore have to perform quite a feat.

Facing them will be PSG which, in addition to the idea of ​​pushing this record of invincibility a little further, will also play to regain the lead in Ligue 1. At the opening of the 8th day this Friday, the leader Monaco does not was able to do better than a draw against (0-0) and the Monegasques are therefore within reach of the Parisians. The condition is simple: if PSG wins this Saturday evening, it will be first given that the goal difference is already in its favor (+15 against +10).
