Pau form and stats

Pau have only played one Ligue 2 game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats from 19 matches.

No payout for Pau in their previous match, an away game at Caen that ended in defeat 0-2. Boto (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.04/10. Boto had 28 successful passes (of 32 total).

Ahead of that match, Pau won a home game hosting Bordeaux (3-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Pau perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Pau as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Pau has won 12 of these, drawn 4 and lost 0.

At Stade Du Hameau Idron 1, Pau has the goal stats of 3-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Paris form and stats

0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Paris playing as the away team in the Ligue 2 this season.

Paris are looking to quickly end their 205 minutes long goal drought in the Ligue 2.

Paris are travelling again after losing away to Grenoble Foot 38 in their previous match (0-2). It's possibly a bad omen for Paris that their goalie Filipović pulled off six saves in the Grenoble Foot 38 match, but still could not prevent a loss.

A 0-2 loss hosting Caen before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 4 similar matches played by Paris in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Paris, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

Paris have the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Pau wins - draws - Paris wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine had two or less.
