Paris form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 2, Paris have managed 7 wins, 3 draws and suffered 8 defeats from 18 games. It’s been three wins in a row for Paris here at Stade Charléty, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Paris shared the glory with Dijon in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. López, a forward, was the declared top performer for the side in that game, scoring a rating of 7.61 (out of 10). López scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 24 successful passes (of 30 total).

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Sochaux.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Paris have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 3 and lost 5.

Paris has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. On the other hand, Paris have conceded 22 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Annecy form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Annecy so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 2-8-8 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

Annecy had fun at their own home (Stade Charléty) last time out, beating Bordeaux 1-0. Pajot scored. Midfielder Pajot was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.4. Pajot scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Niort that ended 2-2.

We have checked recent matches where Annecy have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 9 games were 4 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Annecy are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 21 away goals from 18 games (in the league). Annecy struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 32 goals conceded from these games.
