PSG will be looking to close out their campaign a positive note as they travel to troubled Metz for their season finale. Metz have struggled in recent weeks and should find things difficult against the champions, who have fared better on their travels.
Metz head into Sunday’s season finale desperate for a miracle to climb out of the bottom three. They are currently three points from safety and need a win, along with favours elsewhere and a massive goal difference swing.
The problem with Metz is that their recent form offers little hope as they have lost their last three matches and were beaten 2-1 at Strasbourg last time out. Laszlo Boloni’s men have also struggled at home, suffering eight defeats in the last 10 matches in front of their fans.
Having already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title weeks ago already, PSG will be looking to close out their campaign on a positive note. They claimed a 2-1 victory at Nice in their previous fixture with Bradley Barcola and Yoram Zague getting the goals.
The victory at Nice extends an impressive away record for PSG, who are yet to taste defeat on their Ligue 1 travels this season. Luis Enrique’s men travel to the Stade Saint-Symphorien off the back of four straight away wins, a run also that includes a 6-2 victory at Montpellier and a 4-1 triumph at Lorient.
How the bookies view it: Mets given no chance
PSG have been installed as overwhelming favourites and are priced at 3/5 by bet365 to claim the win. Metz are considered outsiders, with a home win valued at 9/2 while a draw is set at odds of 29/10.
Recent head to head: Parisians always on top
PSG often come out on top in this fixture and have won the last 14 meetings with Metz. The Parisians claimed a 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture back in December.
Players to watch: Ramos the new focal point
In the midst of all their problems this season, Georges Mikautadze has been the shining light for Metz. The forward has 11 Ligue 1 goals and is priced at 15/8 by bet365 to find the net on Sunday.
With Kylian Mbappe unlikely to feature on Sunday, Goncalo Ramos will be the one to watch for PSG. The striker has 11 Ligue 1 goals this season and is priced at 6/5 by bet365 to get on the score sheet.
Probable line-ups
Having already said his goodbyes to the fans in PSG’s final home game of the season, Mbappe was unavailable at Nice and is unlikely to feature on Sunday. However, Marco Asensio could be handed a start after coming off the bench last time out.
Metz are unlikely to make too many changes, with Mikautadze expected to feature in attack once again.
Metz: Oukidja, Colin, Traore, Sane, Cande, Kerkhof, Jacques, N’Doram, Camara, Diallo, Mikautadze
PSG: Donnarumma, Zague, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Beraldo, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz, Barcola, Asensio, Ramos
Anything else catch the eye?
PSG have claimed a number of one-sided wins on their recent travels and could be backed in the -1 handicap market at 11/8 with bet365. They have also won both halves in the last two meetings with Metz and could be set for a similar pattern at 11/4 with bet365.
There have been over 3.5 goals in three of the last four meetings between both sides and a repeat is priced at evens with bet365.
