Stade Jean Bouin - Paris
Strasbourg has 12 points after five Ligue 1 matches this season (W4 L1), their highest tally at this stage of a season in the top-flight since 1946/47 (15 – counting 3 points for a win).
Paris FC lost their first home match in Ligue 1 + Ligue 2 since 3 January (1-2 v Martigues), ending a run of 10 consecutive home wins for PFC in the league, their second-longest run in the top two French divisions (they also won 10 between October 1977 and April 1978 in Ligue 2).
Strasbourg recorded their seventh away win in Ligue 1 in 2025 (D2 L3), their highest tally in a single calendar year since 1979 (also 7) and as many as in 2024 (2) and 2023 (5) combined.
Paris FC have lost only one of their six home games against Strasbourg in all competitions (W2 D3), it was in September 1978 in Ligue 1.
Strasbourg have lost 11 of their 18 away games at a promoted Ligue 1 club since returning to the top-flight in 2017/18 (W4 D3), at least four more than any other team over that period.
Paris FC have won two of their four Ligue 1 matches this season (L2). It took them at least six games (in 1972/73) to reach that mark in their previous three seasons in the top-flight and they haven’t reached three wins before their ninth game (in 1972/73 and 1973/74).
Strasbourg have gained nine points after four Ligue 1 games this season (3W L1), their highest total at this stage of a season in the top-flight since 1978/79 (10 – including 3 points for a win).
Paris FC have won each of their last 10 home games in Ligue 1 + Ligue 2, the longest current streak in the five major European leagues and their second division. PFC have also only failed to score once in their last 24 home matches in all competitions (0-0 v Annecy in November 2024 – 49 goals scored in total).
