Niort are welcoming Paris for another important game after their 1-1 result against 15th-placed Chateauroux.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Niort form and stats
With {2 Ligue 2 wins}, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Niort are certainly not brimming with confidence. The Niort manager F. Passi might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Niort drew their last game, 1-1 away at Châteauroux (placed 15th). Preceding that match was the home game against Le Havre that was lost 0-1.
Niort are traveling soon after this match as the Ligue 2 match at Caen awaits in four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Niort here at Stade René Gaillard in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (8 from 10 games). On the other hand, Niort have conceded 11 goals.
Paris form and stats
Paris have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 2-3-6 (11 played).
There were no winners in Paris's previous match, a Ligue 2 home game that ended 0-0 vs Rodez (placed 14th). A 2-3 loss hosting Saint-Etienne before that.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ajaccio in just four days.
Goals are few and far between in Paris's away league games. Only 5 goals from 11 travels. Paris have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
