Metz form and stats

Overall Ligue 1 stats at home this season for Metz are 5-4-7 (wins-draw-losses). It's been an uphill battle for Metz in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Montpellier game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Metz haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 270 minutes ago. P. N. Yade scored that one.

Metz manager F. Antonetti and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Reims (placed 11th) in the Ligue 1. Ahead of that match, Metz lost 0-2 at home to Lille.

Metz's goalie Alexandre Oukidja played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Reims with a stunning six saves.

Paris Saint Germain form and stats

Paris Saint Germain, who have the most scored goals (74) in Ligue 1, have an excellent away record in the Ligue 1 so far with 11-2-3 from 16 games.

Before that, Paris secured a home win against Saint-Etienne with the score 3-2.

As you can tell from the results above, Paris was very dominant against Angers SCO, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Neymar and Mauro Icardi (3) providing the goals. Mauro Icardi certainly enjoyed Paris's last game versus Angers SCO, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-0 victory.

As mentioned earlier, Paris Saint Germain will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 13 wins (ten by two or more goals winning margin), one draw and two surprising defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Paris are hosting Manchester City in the Champions League only four days away.

The Paris manager M. Pochettino Trossero has got the team scoring on the road, with 36 away goals in 16 league matches. It's not easy to score on Paris as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
