Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain, who have the most scored goals (16) in Ligue 1, must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Ligue 1 games here at Parc des Princes. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Paris has won five games in a row. The Olympique Marseille match was the last time out without a victory. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Parc des Princes.

Paris drew their last game, also a home match. Manchester United was the opponent, 1-1 the score. A strong away win before that one, visiting Nimes and winning 4-0.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Paris Saint Germain have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 17 games found in the database showing 15 Paris Saint Germain wins, one draw and one defeat.

The manager T. Tuchel will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to İstanbul Başakşehir in only four days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Paris Saint Germain's attacking play is working. Paris are not conceding a lot of goals here at Parc des Princes in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Dijon form and stats

No Ligue 1 points yet away for Dijon, from their first 3 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. Jobard, the Dijon manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Dijon played 1-1 against Rennes in their previous match. Prior to that match, the Dijon manager S. Jobard faced defeat when travelling to Bordeaux and losing 0-3.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played ten away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with three wins, one draw and six defeats. five games were lost by at least two goals margin.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Dijon's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Dijon's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 8 goals in 3 travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: nine - zero - one (Paris wins - draws - Dijon wins). As for goals, ten matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.
