Check out the key numbers ahead of the game between Paris Saint-Germain and AJ Auxerre, which kicks off at 21:05 CET tonight (Matchday 6 of Ligue 1) at the Parc des Princes.

It was against Auxerre on 20 May 1983 that for the first time in Paris Saint-Germain history an outfield player replaced the goalkeeper in a top-flight game. Forced off by injury just 27 minutes in, Dominique Baratelli was replaced by captain Dominique Bathenay in a 3-2 defeat.

Auxerre are one of the rare teams to have won on their first trip to the Parc des Princes (2-3 in the league, 14 December 1980).

The Parisians are looking to record a fourth successive clean sheet since the start of the season following Angers, Lens and Atalanta. The team has only achieved the feat four times: 1985-1986 (5 matches), 1992-1993 (4 matches), 1996-1997 (6 matches) and 2019-2020 (4 matches).

Pedro Miguel Pauleta is our all-time leading scorer against Auxerre with six goals. He is ahead of Vincent Guérin, Nenê and George Weah (4 each).

Paris Saint-Germain are unbeaten in their last seven competitive meetings with the Burgundy club (5 wins, 2 draws) since a 1-0 defeat in Auxerre on 5 March 2011.

20 players have played for both clubs: Joël Bats, Edouard Cissé, Colin Dagba, Oumar Dieng, Alec Georgen, Alain Goma, Rudy Haddad, Gérard Hallet, Bonaventure Kalou, Yann Lachuer, Gérard Lanthier, Ronan Le Crom, Dominique Lokoli, Peguy Luyindula, Stéphane Mahé, Didier Martel, Franck Merelle, Alain Roche, Kays Ruiz-Atil and Sammy Traoré.

Paris have scored in their last 35 Ligue 1 games at the Parc des Princes, and could break the club’s top-flight record (35 matches, January 2013-December 2014).

It will be the Parisians’ 50th competitive game of 2025 with 39 wins, 3 draws and seven defeats so far.

Paris Saint-Germain and Auxerre have met 77 times. Paris’ record is 33 wins, 23 draws and 21 defeats.

The Parisians are just one goal shy of a century in competitive games against Auxerre.
