Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain have been very solid at home in the Ligue 1 so far, with 18 points collected from 6 matches (6-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. Ever since the Strasbourg game Paris has been unbeatable here at Parc des Princes producing six straight wins.

Happy days for Paris in their previous game, a Ligue 1 match away at Bordeaux (placed 18th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. The attacking player Neymar won the honour of being "man of the match" for Paris Saint Germain with the rating of 9.1/10. Neymar scored two goals, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 6 times.

A 2-2 draw away in the Champions League before that, with RB Leipzig the opponent.

The manager M. Pochettino Trossero will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Manchester City in only four days.

Paris are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (16 goals in 6 games). Paris have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Nantes form and stats

There's been little loot from Nantes's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Ligue 1. Nantes only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.

There were no winners in Nantes's previous match, a Ligue 1 home game that ended 2-2 vs Strasbourg (placed 8th). Midfield player Andrei Girotto was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.05/10. Girotto hit one key pass.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Montpellier's place.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Nantes's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won one of these as expected, one of them by at least two goals. Nantes managed zero draws and one surprise win.

Nantes have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 7 goals have been scored. Nantes's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Paris eight wins, zero draws and Nantes two victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
