Troyes form and stats

Troyes's struggle is real here at Stade de l'Aube with only 12 points collected from 16 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-9-6. Troyes are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade de l'Aube with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in 14 attempts.

The Troyes supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Stade de l'Aube: A 0-1 defeat against Nice (placed 9th). Gallon had a busy but productive day in the Nice match. Despite making eleven saves the loss could not be prevented.

A 2-2 draw away before that, with Nantes the opponent.

Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 25 goals have been conceded.

Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Paris Saint Germain collect 37 points from their 16 away matches in the Ligue 1. 12 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 3 defeats). Paris Saint Germain has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Monaco.

Paris Saint Germain have lots to remedy after their shock defeat (1-3) to Lorient in their previous game, played at their own home ground. That loss was their first after three consecutive league rounds winning points. Which player has bagged at least one goal three games in a row for the away team? The correct answer is Mbappé and that is quite the feat! Midfielder Verratti was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.45. Verratti hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 121 successful passes (of 133 total).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Angers SCO at their stadium, the result 2-1.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 10 of this club's 13 latest league fixtures have ended with three or more goals.

The PSG manager Galtier has got the team scoring on the road, with 38 away goals in 16 league matches. Paris Saint Germain are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 12 times in 16 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
