PSG, fresh off an absolutely wild 4-2 victory against Manchester City, faces a tricky Ligue 1 trip to Strasbourg this Saturday afternoon. This match is a potential landmine, especially with a huge showdown against Barça staring them down on Tuesday. It is going to be a wild weekend across the league, with crucial points and Champions League hopes on the line.
Luis Enrique’s Impossible Choice
Luis Enrique has to be sweating over this one. Does he risk his key guys against a Strasbourg squad absolutely starving for a win against the European champions? The source says he “could be tempted to rest several key players.” Or does he rotate, banking on his depth, and hope it is enough in Alsace? Strasbourg will be determined to seize this opportunity to beat the European champions, making this game sandwiched between two huge European fixtures ripe for an upset. This match has “surprise” written all over it, and PSG needs to be careful not to get caught looking ahead to Barcelona.
Marseille’s Grind and the Top Five Battle
Elsewhere, Olympique de Marseille finally got back into the win column in Ligue 1, grabbing a W against Troyes after a seriously scary game. That was their first league win since opening day, so you would think they were turning a corner, right? WRONG. They immediately tripped up again, losing to Olympiakos in the Europa League on Thursday, and a bunch of their guys were cramping up bad. Now, they travel to Angers on Sunday at 3pm, with fatigue a major factor. This is their chance to finally prove they can string together back-to-back league wins and kick-start their season.
While OM is battling fatigue, Sunday’s 5:15pm kick-off between Paris FC and Rennes is all about making moves in the table. These two are currently sitting in Ligue 1’s top five, and trust me, they have got Champions League qualification spots locked in their sights. This is a massive opportunity for both clubs to throw down a statement and show everyone what they are truly after this season.
