Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the final.

Paris Saint Germain have performed here at Parc des Princes this season with 10 wins from 14 Ligue 1 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 3. 5W-0D-2L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Champions League for Paris Saint Germain.

Paris are confident in defense, having played 219 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Paris are returning here after visiting Brest in a Coupe de France game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Kylian Mbappé (2) and Pablo Sarabia scored the goal(s). In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Bordeaux.

Sergio Rico loved the game against Brest. With a stunning seven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 3-0 victory.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Paris have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost zero.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Paris, as the Ligue 1 home game vs Nantes is only four days away.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (34 in 14 games), Paris's attacking play is working. Paris are not conceding a lot of goals here at Parc des Princes in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 14 matches.
