Edinson Cavani, avec 15 buts inscrits, est le meilleur buteur du Paris Saint-Germain face à Monaco, mais aussi le seul à avoir réussi un triplé sur le Rocher (4-0 le 11 novembre 2018). Il devance Angel Di Maria et Carlos Bianchi (6 buts), Amara Diané et Neymar Jr (4 buts), Julian Draxler, Kylian Mbappé et Ronaldinho (3 buts). 

Neymar Jr can equal the club record held by Kylian Mbappé (2019-20) and Carlos Bianchi (1978-79) of scoring in eight consecutive matches.

The stakes... 

Paris Saint-Germain have won three away matches in a row (2-1 vs Brest 09/1/2019, 3-1 vs Montpellier 07/12/2019, 4-0 vs Saint-Etienne 15/12/2019), and are undefeated in 13 matches since losing to Dijon 1-2 on 1 November.

The keys to success... 

Paris Saint-Germain have scored at least once in their last 26 away matches in Ligue 1 - the last time they failed to score was 19 May 2018 away to Caen (0-0).
