Paris form and stats

Paris are steadily winning Ligue 2 games and points here at Stade Sébastien-Charléty. 4 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 6 games.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 264 minutes without scoring a league goal. W. Caddy was the last player to find the net.

Paris manager R. Girard and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Grenoble Foot 38 (placed 2nd) in the Ligue 2. Preceding that match was the home game against Auxerre that was lost 0-3.

The manager R. Girard will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Troyes in only four days.

The Paris fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. 6 goals have been conceded.
