Paris form and stats

As the visiting team in Ligue 2 matches, Paris have produced an overall stat of 4-2-2 so far. Paris has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Paris had fun at their own home (Stade Robert Barran) last time out, beating Guingamp 3-2. Marvin Gakpa, Moustapha Name and Gaëtan Laura scored. Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Clermont's place.

Moustapha Name came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Guingamp last time out, making the manager R. Girard feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Guingamp, was very satisfying as Moustapha Name scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

After this away game Paris return home for a Ligue 2 game against Ajaccio. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Paris has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 13 goals from 8 games. Paris have conceded 9 goals in these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
