Paris Saint-Germain have ‘jewels’ in their ranks, two aces who excelled at the World Cup in Qatar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. After the national team duties, it’s time to continue the part of the season dedicated to clubs. Parisians are stepping towards a new crown and only a miracle could separate Christopher Galtier’s team from another title in France.For tonight’s (23.00) visit to Strasbourg, the last match in 2022, the league leaders cannot count on Lionel Messi, who was given a rest until January 1 (currently staying in his native Rosario) after the massive celebration of the World Cup trophy in Argentina.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Immediately after that incredible final in Doha, Kylian Mbappe made himself available to Galtier, so he will lead his team in Strasbourg. He will form a tandem with the Brazilian Neymar, who did not do great at the World Cup. Apart from the Argentine virtuoso, Nuno Mendes, Presnel Kimpembe and Danilo Pereira are also injured. Moroccan Achraf Hakimi will probably be out of the team.Strasbourg coach Julien Stephan has a large number of injured players. Maxime Marchand, Dimitri Lienar, Thomas Delen, Colin Dagba and Nordin Candila are questionable. Alexander Djiku and Ronel Pierre Gabriel are out of rotation due to card suspensions.Lately, these teams have been giving us games filled with goals. In four matches in a row, we saw four goals or more. At the end of April this year in Strasbourg when these two met, the score was 3-3.Composition match PSG VS STRASBOURG pic.twitter.com/WaDnRFIgFE— HOUNSA Blaise (@blaisehounsa1) December 28, 2022 Elsewhere, we have Laurant Blanc and his Lyon trying to get back at the very top of Ligue 1. Lyon had big ambitions this season, they returned Alexandre Lacazette from Arsenal and Corentin Tolisso from Bayern, but it didn’t work out with the Dutch coach Peter Bosch, so the experienced Blanc took command. The former champions of France sit at a mere eighth place and they want to at least play a European competition next season. This evening (23.00) Brest arrive, who sit in 16th place and face a fierce fight for survival.Lyon won only a point in the previous two games, while the hosts managed to beat Troyes before the World Cup break and escaped the relegation zone. The former champions look desperate in away games, only one win in seven matches, and there are as many as five losses. Brest have only one win in seven matches in front of their fans.🎙️ Laurent Blanc: “There are many things to do, to put into practice. This group must have a common objective. We must place individual interests at the service of the collective.”#SB29OL pic.twitter.com/FeQsLPvjDV— Olympique Lyonnais 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@OL_English) December 27, 2022 LIGUE 1 – ROUND 16Wednesday17:00: (2.85) Troyes (3.30) Nantes (2.65)17:00: (2.10) Ajaccio (3.50) Angers (3.80)19:00: (5.20) Auxerre (3.70) Monaco (1.70)21:00: (4.40) Clermont (3.60) Lille (1.90)23:00: (3.60) Brest (3.50) Olympique Lyon (2.15)23:00: (1.23) PSG (7.25) Strasbourg (13.0)Thursday19:00: (2.05) Lorient (3.45) Montpellier (3.60)21:00: (3.45) Reims (3.40) Rennes (2.25)23:00: (3.10) Nice (3.20) Lens (2.55)23:00: (1.55) Olympique Marseille (4.10) Toulouse (6.00)***odds are subject to change***
