Toulouse form and stats

Toulouse have less points than they have played home games in the Ligue 1 so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Toulouse have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Toulouse lost their last game at Nantes (placed 11th) after a 1-3 scoreline. The first loss after going unbeaten in three league matches. den Boomen (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.64/10. Boomen served one assist, hit three key passes and had 41 successful passes (of 49 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Lorient.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Toulouse as they are travelling to their away game against Clermont in the Ligue 1. That match is four days after this one.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Toulouse at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain, who have the most scored goals (18) in Ligue 1, are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Ligue 1. Paris Saint Germain has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Paris Saint Germain played 1-1 against Monaco in their previous match. PSG coach Galtier could be heard cursing the gods after the 1-1 draw against Monaco, as the team hit the posts three times. Midfielder Hakimi was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.8. Hakimi hit the woodwork once, hit five key passes and had 46 successful passes (of 49 total).

Prior to that result Paris Saint Germain won their away game at Lille. The scoreline was 7-1.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with PSG given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 16 matches with 14 wins as expected, 1 draw and 1 surprise home win. The favourites won 10 of these games by at least two goals.

Paris Saint Germain have another match that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a Ligue 1 fixture against Nantes. A back-breaking itinerary for the visiting team!

It's early days yet, but Paris Saint Germain has scored 12 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

The 5 most recent matches featuring these opponents have all ended as Paris Saint Germain victories. Surely both teams are aware of this.
