Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Pau & Paris Saint Germain face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Ligue 1. That game, against Lille, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Paris Saint Germain.
Pau form and stats
Pau was eliminated in the 8th round last season in the Coupe de France.When playing at home in the National, Pau have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 10 games. This match is a Coupe de France match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses in this competition. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Pau.
Pau drew their last game, 0-0 away at Quevilly Rouen. Previous to that game, a Coupe de France home match hosting Bordeaux in a game that was won 3-2.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Beziers are coming to town in three days.
Pau can score goals in their home matches. After 10 league matches they have found the net 22 times. 12 goals have been conceded.
Paris Saint Germain form and stats
They also participated in Coupe de France last season. This ended in the final.The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 9 wins, 0 draws and only 2 losses in the Ligue 1. A great winning streak in away games for Paris Saint Germain as they have managed to win five matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Dijon have they travelled home without three points.
It's the second away game in a row for Paris Saint Germain, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Lille in the Ligue 1 last time out. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Reims at their stadium, the result 3-0.
As mentioned earlier, Paris Saint Germain will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 16 wins (13 by two or more goals winning margin), 2 draws and 1 surprising defeat.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Montpellier in just three days.
Paris Saint Germain have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 25 goals from 11 away matches. It's not easy to score on Paris Saint Germain as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
