This hardly ever happens! No home comforts at the start of the Ligue 1 campaign

Playing at home gives you the edge – and this season it means playing in front of your supporters. But in the first matchday of 2021/22 Ligue 1 – no home team could manage a win at their stadium. Such matchday only comes around once in a blue moon.The first time it happened was in late 1966/67 campaign. The second time was early in the 2004/05 season. And the third – last weekend.🇩🇪 Scored on league debut for BVB🇮🇹 Scored on full league debut for Inter🇫🇷 Scored on league debut for PSG 🔥 Achraf Hakimi knows how to make an immediate impact pic.twitter.com/66V0IvTkc5— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) August 9, 2021 Monaco, Lyon and Bordeaux were the main culprits. They were all expected to win against Nantes, Brest and newly-promoted Clermont. Two draws and a shocking defeat meant more joy for the visitors.Rennes and Saint-Etienne could only manage draws as their fans returned to the stands while Troyes took the lead against much-fancied PSG only to concede two goals in three minutes and succumb to a narrow 2-1 defeat against the title favourites.Metz were the closest to claiming all three points on home soil as they held a two-goal lead against the champions LOSC Lille with just ten minutes to go. However, it proved insufficient because Jonathan Ikone’s scored to reduce the deficit, and powerful striker Burak Yilmaz forced a late own goal by goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja.Burak Yilmaz gets a 90+7 min equaliser against Metz.

However, new signing Cengiz Under and former West Ham United star Dimitri Payet struck twice to turn the game on its head and win all three points for Les Olympiens.Payet ⚽️ pic.twitter.com/kul1dMKB5V— Le Barçiste 💙❤🇪🇦🇸🇳 (@ElhadjiNiane22) August 8, 2021 Next matchday will see PSG, Lille and Marseille all at home.
