The Parc des Princes, cursed grass for ASSE

As after each day of Ligue 1, we come back to the statistics relating to AS Saint-Étienne. After the defeat against Saint-Germain (2-1), find the figures to remember.

Today’s Green Curiosities:

  • The defeat was predictable at the Park, perhaps less the bad affair of the day for ASSE which becomes play-off for the eighth time this season. However, confirmation of the new face of the Greens in Norwegian fashion.
  • The Parc des Princes is still a cursed turf for ASSE, still no victory since 2012.
  • Away record against PSG: three wins, eleven draws and thirty-three defeats.
  • ASSE has conceded at least one goal in the last nineteen meetings in Paris.
  • Luis Enrique's fiftieth victory on the PSG bench.
  • ASSE's first halves away were catastrophic: nine played, eight times behind at the break, one draw and only one goal scored for 17 conceded.
  • Only the Rennais have also never been in the lead at half-time, but they have obtained three draws.
  • All competitions combined, sixth consecutive victory for the Parisians.
  • The two starting lineups had an average age of 25.1 years for ASSE and 23.9 for PSG.

They stood out:

  • Zuri Davitashvili who scored his sixth goal from a direct free kick, which had not happened to PSG's opponents for two years.
  • Gianluigi Donnarumma the Parisian goalkeeper and his wall, curiously positioned on this free kick.
  • Gautier Larsonneur who, credited with seven saves, held the house as much as possible, but who could have avoided his cinema before the conversion of the penalty.
  • Petrot who had a cold all evening, not much helped it is true by his midfielder.

Current ASSE series:

  • Five matches with goals conceded (six in all competitions).

Good or bad stats:

  • Amazing Saint-Etienne possession, 61% in the first ten minutes. 46% at half-time, 41% over the entire match.
  • This season, PSG displays an average possession of 69.6% with 91% of successful passes, records in the club's history according to choose.
  • It is Bouchouari who touched the most balls on the Forézien side (76) followed by Ekah (74), et Appiah (67).
  • Unsurprisingly the four most active players are Parisians with notably 120 balls for Judge and 102 for Nuno Mendes.
  • 18 shots in the area for PSG, 4 for ASSE.
  • 82% of aerial duels favor menHenrique51% on the ground.
  • 65% of the tackles made by the Stéphanois were successful, 54% for PSG.

Tribunes and supporters:

  • Except for the Parc, it was a break day for the major stadiums, which explains the low average attendance (21,753 spectators), it is the second lowest of the season after the opening day of the championship.
  • After the 17 days of the first leg, Ligue 1 exceeded four million spectators, 4,203,884, with an average per match of 27,476.

Referee, discipline, fouls and cards:

  • M. Millot blindly applied the rule by awarding a penalty for a ball barely touched by Pétrot who made no hand gesture towards the ball.
  • Let's recognize that he was also picky towards the Parisians by denying them a goal for a not very obvious fault on Bouchouari.
  • Only two yellows collected by the Stéphanois, but with serious consequences, because Mouton et Bouchouari will be deprived of the trip to .
  • 27 fouls called including 16 against the championship leaders, proof that it has not always been easy for them.
