Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 9 points in the bag from 3 travels in the Ligue 1. PSG have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

Paris Saint Germain play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Toulouse (placed 13th). Goalkeeper Donnarumma was absolutely vital in the Paris Saint Germain victory against Toulouse, making seven saves. Messi, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 9.35. Messi signed up for two assists, hit four key passes and had 55 successful passes (of 66 total).

A draw for PSG before that, at their own venue hosting Monaco (1-1).

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 14 wins (10 by two or more goals winning margin), 1 draw and 1 surprising defeat.

A new game in only three days for Paris Saint Germain, the Champions League home match versus Juventus. Busy days.

The PSG manager Galtier has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 15 goals in 3 league matches away. Paris Saint Germain are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.

Head 2 Head
