PSG vs Metz Predictions

• PSG have won 13 matches in a row against Metz
• Metz have failed to score in their last three Ligue 1 matches
• Kylian Mbappe has scored nine goals across his last eight league games

Hosts to bounce back against favoured opposition

PSG were held to a 1-1 draw at Lille last time out, but they were still able to extend their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings to five points after nearest rivals Nice slipped up on the road at Le Havre.

The Parisians have won five league matches on the spin on home soil, keeping clean-sheets in three of those games and they also have a fabulous recent record against Metz, winning 13 matches on the spin against Wednesday’s visitors.

That record appears even more impressive when factoring in only meetings at the Parc des Princes, as the last five of those have ended in PSG victories to nil.

Metz struggling for goals

A run of three successive defeats have seen Metz slip dangerously close to the relegation zone and they have also failed to score in all of those losses.

Goals have been an issue for Laszlo Boloni’s side for much of this season, as only two teams have struck fewer goals in Ligue 1 during 2023/24 than the Maroons’ total of 15.

All the signs are that this should be a routine return to winning ways for PSG against out-of-form opposition and Kylian Mbappe, who has scored nine goals across his last eight Ligue 1 appearances, could be worth following in the anytime scorer markets.
