Bordeaux form and stats

Bordeaux have collected 19 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 5-4-5.

The Bordeaux crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Metz here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique in a Ligue 1 match. Prior to that, an away loss at Nîmes.

Heartbreak for Bordeaux in their last match as Metz's Vagner scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Bordeaux here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (13 from 14 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 14 goals have been conceded.

Paris Saint Germain form and stats

The away team, who have the most scored goals (61) in Ligue 1, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 8 wins, 2 draws and only 3 losses in the Ligue 1. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Paris, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Paris Saint Germain play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-0 victory visiting Dijon (placed 20th). A loss against Monaco was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, Paris was the only team on the pitch versus Dijon in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

The schedule is very tough for Paris Saint Germain now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Coupe de France game at Brest is waiting in only three days.

Paris Saint Germain have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 27 goals from 13 away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far).

Head 2 Head

Paris Saint Germain - Bordeaux 2-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Bordeaux, two draws and eight wins for Paris Saint Germain. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
