Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Last season, Paris Saint Germain's Champions League journey ended in the 8th finals against Real Madrid.

Paris Saint Germain have collected 13 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 4-1-0. 2W-2D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Champions League for Paris Saint Germain.

The Paris Saint Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 313 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ligue 1.

It's back home for PSG, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Ajaccio away with the result 3-0. Mbappé (2) and Messi found the net in that victory. The forward Messi was announced as "man of the match" for Paris Saint Germain with the rating of 9.21/10. Messi scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit four key passes and had 51 successful passes (of 63 total).

Ahead of that match, Paris Saint Germain won a home game hosting Olympique Marseille (1-0).

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how PSG have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 7 games found in the database showing 7 Paris Saint Germain wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ligue 1 game versus Troyes in only four days. This game is also played here at Parc des Princes.

Paris Saint Germain have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Maccabi Haifa form and stats

Maccabi Haifa was sent out of Champions League in the 1st qualifying round last season, when Kairat turned out to be too strong.

The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligat ha'Al travels is 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. When we have look at the Champions League statistics, we find 4W-2D-4L. This is both home and away.

Maccabi play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Ironi Kiryat Shmona.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Hapoel Hadera in the Ligat ha'Al.

A quick return to home after this game, as Maccabi Haifa are hosting Ashdod in the Ligat ha'Al only four days away.

Maccabi are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Maccabi Haifa have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
