The Parc des Princes hosts what looks like a completely one-sided Ligue 1 Matchday 23 affair — but football has a funny way of surprising us. PSG welcome bottom-placed Metz to Paris on Saturday night, desperate to bounce back after a shock 3-1 defeat to Rennes that knocked them off top spot. Meanwhile, Metz arrive with just three wins all season and a squad low on confidence. Luis Enrique will demand a statement response. Can Metz dare to dream?

PSG have won all 15 previous meetings with Metz — a staggering record of dominance that makes the Parisians overwhelming favourites despite their recent Rennes blip. Metz are winless in their last five games and sit rock-bottom of Ligue 1 with just three wins all season.

Th FotMobe returning firepower of Désire Doué — who bagged a brace against Monaco in the Champions League — alongside Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia creates a front three that Metz simply have no answer for on paper.

Prediction

PSG have already beaten Metz once this season, and FotMob with the Parisians fuming after their Rennes defeat and needing to reclaim top spot, expect a ruthless performance at home. Metz’s dire away record and wafer-thin squad make this a near-formality for Luis Enrique’s men.

Prediction: PSG 3–1 Metz
