Les Rouge et Bleu currently have 26 points in the bag in Ligue 1 after earning eight wins and two draws from their first ten games of the season, giving them a tally that they have bettered at the same stage of just two other seasons: 2018–2019, when they took the full 30 points from their first ten games, and 2021–2022, when they had 27 points after ten games.

Paris are unbeaten in their last 29 away games in the league (3-0 v. Marseille, 2-1 v. Brest, 2-0 v. Nice, 2-1 v. Angers, 3-1 v. Troyes, 2-1 v. Auxerre and 1-1 v. Strasbourg in the 2022–2023 season; 1-1 v. Toulouse, 4-1 v. Lyon, 0-0 v. Clermont, 3-1 v. Rennes, 3-2 v. Brest, 3-0 v. Reims, 2-0 v. Le Havre, 1-1 v. Lille, 2-0 v. Lens, 2-1 v. Strasbourg, 2-0 v.
