PSG heads to Metz for their last match of the season, aiming to finish on a high note after clinching the title.

Alan Buck    May 16

Luis Enrique's team had already secured the title with three games remaining, thanks to Monaco's defeat. They now have two games left, including a midweek fixture before facing Metz on the weekend. Despite the joy of winning the title, they are still recovering from their Champions League semi-final exit last week. Kylian Mbappe's impending departure in the summer has also kept them in the headlines. Nonetheless, they are determined to clinch three points and conclude the season on a positive note, securing their 12th Ligue 1 title ahead of Monaco and Lille.

In contrast, Metz is on the verge of facing a relegation play-off. Trailing Le Havre by three points with just one game left, their 11-goal deficit in goal difference makes their survival prospects slim. Thus, they are eager to secure a positive result to build momentum for the play-off game and attempt to retain their division status.

PSG has struggled recently, going winless in their last four games across all competitions. Conversely, Metz has shown some resilience, winning two out of their last five matches. However, their upcoming clash against PSG presents a significant challenge, considering PSG's dominance in their head-to-head encounters, winning 12 consecutive league games since 2014.

Mbappe's final league game for PSG adds further intrigue, especially against a Metz side that has conceded multiple goals in six of their last seven matches. With Metz aiming to tighten their defense, Mbappe will be eager to capitalize on any opportunities to extend his impressive goal tally for the season.

In terms of squad fitness, Metz may miss Benjamin Tetteh and Joel Asoro, while PSG's Layvin Kurzawa remains sidelined with a back injury. Despite their recent setbacks, both teams will be determined to make an impact in their final fixture of the season.

Despite the Champions League exit, PSG is determined to finish the season positively. We anticipate they will achieve this with a convincing victory this weekend.
