Paris Saint-Germain, Recent FormParis Saint-Germain were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Lille. They came away from that fixture with 59% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Lille managed 15 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Manager Luis Enrique will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 16 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They've kept 7 clean sheets so far this season.
They've had a good run of form at home recently, with 5 straight wins in a row.
On an individual basis, Kylian Mbappé has been a major threat in front of goal all season having scored 16 goals in the league so far.
Metz, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Montpellier will not have sat easily with the Metz squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Montpellier's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
László Bölöni will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Ablie Jallow will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Paris Saint-Germain in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Metz.
The last time these two teams met Paris Saint-Germain enforced their superiority over Metz with a comfortable 5-0 win.
It's been a very long time since Les Grenats came to Parc des Princes in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 4 visits. PSG will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Les Grenats, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 12 meetings between the two. Metz have struggled to break down the Les Rouge et Bleu defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. In their last 3 away league games against Les Rouge et Bleu, Metz have conceded a total of 11 goals and that's an average of 3.67 per game.
Undefeated in their last 13 league encounters against Metz, PSG have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last 12 times in a row.
PSG manager Luis Enrique has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon), Nuno Mendes (Hamstring), Keylor Navas (Back), Gonçalo Ramos (Flu), Sergio Rico (Head), Fabián Ruiz (Dislocated shoulder) and Carlos Soler (Illness) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Óscar Estupiñán (Hamstring) and Aboubacar Lô (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, László Bölöni will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
