The league leaders in France will be in action on Wednesday evening, as PSG look to extend their advantage at the summit. Metz will be the visitors to the capital, but they will be massive underdogs in the betting after suffering defeats in each of their previous three.
Ligue 1 Preview
It was a slow start to the season for Luis Enrique and his PSG side but they have quickly got back to their dominant best in recent months. The Parisians now come into this latest round of matches in the competition sitting five points clear at the top of the standings after winning four of their last five matches in Ligue 1. However, a better performance will be expected this week after playing out a draw on Sunday.
It would be fair to say that PSG weren’t at their best in that fixture on Sunday evening, as they managed to record just two shots on target. Meanwhile, their only goal in the tie was netted from the penalty spot by Kylian Mbappe. But, the Frenchman’s goal was his 180th in the competition, which means that he now ranks in the top ten scorers in the history of the competition.
It may be hard to make a case for Metz this week, as they have really struggled for positive results in their previous matches in the competition. They come into this match in Paris after suffering defeats in each of their last three, while they have recorded just four wins from their opening 16 matches this term.
That run of form means that they are just three points above the drop zone, and a return to form will be needed to aid their chances of avoiding the drop. Their most recent defeat was suffered at home after being edged out by a 1-0 scoreline against Montpellier.
PSG vs Metz Head to Head
PSG have recorded victories in each of their last 12 matches against Metz across all competitions since the start of 2014. Their most recent win was a 5-0 success in May 2022. They have scored 14 unanswered goals in their last four home league matches against Metz.
PSG vs Metz Prediction
It is almost impossible to overlook PSG’s dominant record in this fixture before making a selection on Wednesday. Therefore, we will be siding with the home aside claiming victory in the French capital on Wednesday.
