Le Racing emerged victorious when they last faced the Parisians.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are gearing up to face Strasbourg in their matchweek 8 fixture of the 2025-26 Ligue 1. This is going to be an interesting fixture, which will take place at the Parc des Princes.

The Luis Enrique-led side were held to a 1-1 draw against Lille in their previous league fixture. They did not perform up to the mark, and as a result, PSG dropped two points.

RC Strasbourg have also started their new season on a positive note. They have won five of their first seven games of the Ligue 1 2025-26 season.
