Here are six stats ahead of Le Gym’s trip to Paris, which is set to get Matchday 31 of Ligue 1 underway at 20:45 CET this Friday.

THREE stats ON LES rouge et noir

Nice have won two of their last three games away to the Ligue 1 title holders (alongside one loss), which is as many as they had won in their previous 29 visits to the reigning French champions (alongside nine draws and 18 losses).
Nice have scored 56 goals in Ligue 1 in 2024/25, which is their highest tally after 30 games of a top-flight season since 1977/78 (61 goals scored) and is already certain to be their highest tally across a full campaign since 2016/17 (63 goals scored).
Nice’s Jonathan Clauss has played 51 key passes, attempted 165 crosses and created 13 big chances in Ligue 1 this season, which is more than any other defender / wing-back in the French top flight in 2024/25.

Having already been crowned as the French champions as well as being unbeaten since the start of the season with 24 wins and six draws to their name, Paris Saint-Germain have taken 41 points from their 15 home league games so far in 2024/25, making them the fifth team in the 21st century to have racked up more than 40 points on home soil at this stage of a Ligue 1 campaign, following in the footsteps of Lyon (41 points in 2001/02) and PSG themselves (45 points in both 2017/18 and 2018/19 and 43 points in 2021/22).
Paris SG have registered 203 build-up attacks in Ligue 1 this season, which is at least 75 more than any other team. Les Parisiens have also only faced 18 such attacks, which is at least nine fewer than their competitors.
As well as conceding 28 goals so far this season, Paris have kept just seven clean sheets in their first 30 matches of the 2024/25 Ligue 1 campaign, which is their joint-lowest such total at this stage of a season in the 21st century (alongside their tally from 2009/10).
