Paris form and stats

Only two Ligue 2 home games for Paris so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

A good away victory last time out for Paris, who won 1-0 against Quevilly Rouen (placed 12th). Midfield player Morgan Guilavogui got a match rating of 8.45 in that game, the max score being 10. Guilavogui scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 23 successful passes (of 28 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Auxerre.

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 seven games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost one.

The manager T. Laurey will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ajaccio in only three days.

Paris has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
