Paris Saint Germain form and stats

This stadium, Parc des Princes, has been a fortress for Paris Saint Germain in the Ligue 1 so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 12-1-1. In general it's been a long time since Germain tasted defeat here at Parc des Princes, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league. Germain has a nice streak going on as they have played 15 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Dijon defeat 182 days ago.

Germain's previous game was a Champions League match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Borussia Dortmund. The home side are looking to build on that result. In the game before, an away victory in the Coupe de France match versus Olympique Lyonnais with a 5-1 scoreline.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Germain is on fire here. A stunning 44 from 14 league matches. Germain have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Brest form and stats

Brest have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 2-4-8 (14 played).

Brest have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 217 minutes ago. Dante (own goal) was the goal scorer.

Two away games in a row for Brest, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Reims in the Ligue 1. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Angers SCO.

The attacking power of Brest when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 14 league matches away. Brest's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 26 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Brest - Germain 1-2 played earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: seven - one - zero (Paris Saint Germain wins - draws - Brest wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
