Paris will have to make a full match to win. Strasbourg, whose last defeat dates back to last February, has been undefeated since 11 games. But from there to say that it is a test match before the semi-finals return from the Champions League, there is a world, according to the consultant of Europe 1 Alain Giresse. “The preparation, they did it in the first leg with a remarkable game. It is a match that they will certainly manage with a lot of changes,” he explains.
Parisians will play this Saturday (5:00 p.m.) without Ousmane Dembélé, released on injury during the match in Arsenal. The club said on Friday that it suffered from a “muscle stretching at the right thigh”, but that its situation “evolved favorably”, hoping that it will be able to play on Wednesday.
