Goal Statistics

Goals have been difficult to come by for Nantes of late. It has been 6 Ligue 1 games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Sunday afternoon against Paris FC.

Paris FC's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Nantes have conceded in each of their last 9 Ligue 1 outings. A PG of 1.5 for S. Gilli's side suggests that run should continue.
