Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain, who have the the best goal difference (+9) in Ligue 1, have six points from their first three away games in the Ligue 1, meaning two victories and a loss. The fact that Paris Saint Germain have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Paris, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Alessandro Florenzi, Julian Draxler, Neymar (2), Kylian Mbappé and Idrissa Gueye scored in Paris's previous match, the home game against Angers SCO that ended 6-1. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Reims at their stadium, the result 2-0.

As mentioned above, Paris Saint Germain was the only team on the pitch versus Angers SCO in their previous game, winning 6-1. This could be a tougher task.

A new game in only four days for Paris Saint Germain, the Champions League home match versus Manchester United. Busy days.

Paris are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Paris are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
