Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the 8th finals.

Paris Saint Germain have been very solid at home in the Ligue 1 so far, with 37 points collected from 14 matches (12-1-1). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table. This match is a Champions League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in this competition. Paris Saint Germain has a nice streak going on as they have played 15 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Dijon defeat 131 days ago. In general it's been a long time since Paris Saint Germain tasted defeat here at Parc des Princes, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.

Paris Saint Germain are returning here after visiting Olympique Lyonnais in a Coupe de France game and winning with a 5-1 scoreline. Kylian Mbappé (3), Neymar and Pablo Sarabia scored the goal(s). Previous to that game, a Ligue 1 home match hosting Dijon in a game that was won 4-0.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Paris Saint Germain played a great game against Olympique Lyonnais and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Kylian Mbappé was absolutely essential when Paris Saint Germain beat Olympique Lyonnais 5-1, scoring three goals.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Nice are coming to town in four days.

Paris Saint Germain always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Parc des Princes with 44 goals in 14 league games. From these home matches, Paris Saint Germain have conceded only 11 goals.
