Three good reasons to watch Guingamp-Paris

News

A few hours before kick-off of the Week 2 encounter between Paris and Guingamp, PSG.FR gives you three good reasons to watch the game.

For Neymar Jr's anniversary...
It was also on Week 2 of last season that Paris Saint-Germain went to Guingamp for Neymar Jr's first Ligue 1 game. It's a strange coincidence that sees the Brazilian step out onto the Roudourou pitch for the second time in his career a year almost to the day after that 3-0 win. That victory is Paris' 20th in their last 24 last matches against Guingamp.

To continue their away run...
Paris are unbeaten in their last eight away trips for a Ligue 1 game, the longest current run in the top flight (5 wins, 3 draws), after losing two of the previous four (2 wins). The trip to Brittany gives the club the chance to start their league campaign with back-to-back victories for the fourth successive season.

For Tuchel's first away trip...
The new Paris coach has made the perfect start to his Rouge-et-Bleu career. After the convincing 4-0 win over Monaco in the Trophée des Champions in Shenzhen, Thomas Tuchel equalled the record win for a Paris coach on his league debut with the 3-0 victory against Caen. Can he inspire his players to produce a similar performance to mark his maiden away trip?
