Paris form and stats

Paris's results here at Stade Charléty in the Ligue 2 have been very modest with 4 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Paris, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

No payout for Paris in their previous match, an away game at Caen that ended in defeat 1-3. Lasne (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.15/10. Lasne hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 85 successful passes (of 94 total).

Ahead of that match, Paris lost 2-4 at home to Saint-Etienne.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Paris matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats (from 4 games).

Lots of goals and action? Who knows the future, but we do know that 8 of the 10 most recent league games with this club has seen three or more goals.

Paris are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 15 games. Paris have conceded 21 in these home matches.
