Total goals: 3 1/2

Metz has fallen into a bad streak following some positive results at the end of November. After three consecutive wins, Stéphane Le Mignan’s squad now faces three straight losses in Ligue 1. The 1-3 defeat against Auxerre in Round 14 dropped Metz to 18th place with just 11 points, and if they lose again this weekend, it will be their third consecutive home defeat. Although Metz’s defense had a highlight by keeping a clean sheet versus Lens, the team has conceded 30 goals overall.

Meanwhile, PSG continues its pursuit of the Ligue 1 title aiming for a fifth straight championship. However, they face some difficulties, trailing Lens by only one point and showing inconsistent performance away from home. After a 0-1 loss to Monaco, PSG has remained unbeaten in the last two matches but still struggles to maintain consistency on the road. Nevertheless, the head-to-head record fully supports the capital club, with PSG winning 15 consecutive matches against Metz, including six away games.

Given the significant gap between the two teams, especially PSG’s powerful attack and Metz’s weak defense, the match promises to be high-scoring. PSG is superior in every aspect and will have no trouble "destroying" Metz, a team struggling in the relegation battle.
