Our take

Paris Saint Germain were clear favourites.

Paris Saint Germain were the stronger side on L90 Strength (89 vs 46). Recent goals, xG and shots on target add to that edge for Paris Saint Germain. Strasbourg were without I. Doukouré and M. Godo. Strasbourg had 6.1 days of rest, Paris Saint Germain 2.8 and had to travel 397 km. Conditions were neutral.

From eScored squad data: each player's weight is his role (core 3, starter 2, rotation 1, depth 0.5) times his share of minutes. Defenders and keepers count to the defence line, forwards to attack, midfielders half to each. EloLambda turns the lost share into fewer goals scored and more conceded (weight 0.1); the totals show how that moves the result chances.
