Ready for Paris Saint-Germain-Nîmes Olympique?
Join us in looking ahead to Saturday's Ligue 1 encounter at the Parc des Princes.
THE MATCH
It's the 26th competitive fixture between Paris Saint-Germain and Nîmes, with Paris enjoying the better record of 11 wins, six draw and eight losses.
At the Parc des Princes, in 11 meetings officiels, the capital club has lost just once: 2-3 in a league game on 30 October 1992, and has won seven of those meetings.
Paris Saint-Germain haven't hosted Nîmes in a competitive fixture for 12 years since winning a Coupe de France Round of 32 tie 3-0 on 7 January 2007.
With 13 successive league wins at the Parc des Princes since the start of the season, Paris Saint-Germain are in the top 4 of the best runs in France behind Saint-Etienne's 19 from 1974/75, Bordeaux in 1984/85 (18 matches), Paris Saint-Germain last season (17 matches) and equal with the 13 matches of Bordeaux in 1989-1990.
THE PLAYERS
Dominique Bathenay is Paris Saint-Germain's top goalscorer against Nîmes with 5, ahead of Carlos Bianchi (4 buts).
Thirteen players have played for both clubs: Jean-Pierre Adams, William Ayache, Armando Bianchi, Pierre Bianconi, Yannick Boli, Aliou Cissé, Lionel Justier, Gérard Lanthier, Loïc Landre, Jean-Claude Lemoult, Didier Martel, Jacky Novi and Christian Perez.
THE LITTLE EXTRA
Paris have scored in every Ligue 1 game this season, a feat not achieved in the top flight for 52 years. If they find the net again today, Paris Saint-Germain will move into the all-time top 5 level with Sète (1946/47) and Nice (1956/57).
