Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Lille - Paris Saint Germain!

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Coupe de la Ligue game only four days ago. That game, against Reims, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Paris Saint Germain.

Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Paris Saint Germain, who have the most scored goals (50) in Ligue 1, collect 24 points from their 10 away matches in the Ligue 1. 8 victories and 0 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). Paris Saint Germain has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Dijon.

It's the second away game in a row for Paris Saint Germain, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Reims (placed 9th) in the Coupe de la Ligue last time out. Preceding that game was the away Coupe de France victory against Lorient with the score of 1-0.

Paris Saint Germain has another fixture away, a Coupe de France game, against Pau in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Paris Saint Germain have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 23 goals from 10 away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).
