Paris FC have impressed more than most with an unbeaten start to the new season, with eight points from a possible 12 after four rounds.
The Parisians saw their two-game winning streak come to a halt on home turf last time around with a goalless stalemate against Lyon.
It marked their second 0-0 draw of the season in four opening league games, highlighting a grave inefficiency in shot conversion.
Paris FC’s Liam Rosenior will face his former club without the services of Nhoa Sangui and Otavio, while Strasbourg are without two important names in Martial Godo and Joaquin Panichelli.
After their opening day 4-0 loss to Marseille, Strasbourg have turned things around with two wins and a loss.
The visitors have registered nine goals already this campaign, six of them coming in the 6-2 win over Troyes two weeks ago.
Hugo Oliveira's outfit are yet to keep a clean sheet though, underlining their shortcomings in defence, with their shaky away league form doing them no favour either.
