On the hunt for a fourth successive away victory across all competitions, reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain travel to the Stade de la Meinau to tackle Strasbourg on Friday night.
Luis Enrique's men let a two-goal lead slip in a 2-2 draw with Brest last time out, while their hosts also settled for a point in a 1-1 stalemate at home to Clermont.
Seven days prior to locking horns with Clermont in top-flight action, Strasbourg eliminated Les Lanciers from the Coupe de France with a 3-1 success at the Stade Gabriel-Montpied, but their hosts had evidently learned a few lessons from that knockout heartache.
Strasbourg were on course for back-to-back beatings of Clermont thanks to a close-range Moise Sahi Dion opener, but with 52 minutes gone, Shamar Nicholson latched onto Bilal Boutobba's defence-splitting pass and picked out the top corner to steal a point for Pascal Gastien's outfit.
A handful of opportunities for Clermont to take maximum spoils came and went for Les Lanciers, as Strasbourg travelled back to base having extended their unbeaten run to eight matches across all tournaments, a far cry from the losing crop of September and October.
