Paris Saint-Germain Preview – Easy three points for the champions?
Paris Saint-Germain lost the Ligue 1 title to Lille last season, but the Paris giants were determined to win it back this year. They have been the dominant force in France, winning the Ligue 1 championship at a canter.
The title was sewn up weeks ago, but PSG have remained competitive on the pitch. Since a surprise 3-0 loss to Monaco two months back, the Parisians are unbeaten in eight Ligue 1 games, winning five and drawing three. After three successive stalemates, they returned to winning ways with a thumping 4-0 victory at Montpellier last weekend.
PSG will want to end a successful season on a high note, and they should ease past struggling Metz on Saturday. The bookies are offering just 1/5 for a home win.
Metz Preview – End of the road for the Maroons?
Metz will either face a relegation play-off or suffer an instant relegation to Ligue 2 on the final day. They are unlikely to get anything from their trip to the Parc des Princes, so if Saint-Etienne grab a point in their game with Nantes, it could be curtains for Frederic Antonetti’s troops.
Metz have kept their survival hopes alive by taking seven points from their last three games. After a 2-2 draw with Montpellier, the Maroons have claimed vital back-to-back victories over Lyon and Angers.
