Ligue 1 Betting Preview: PSG vs Metz

Second-placed PSG welcome bottom club Metz to Parc des Princes, with kick-off set for 15:05 on Saturday 21 February.

Straightforward Win on the Cards for PSG

The best way to back PSG for a victory here is to take the -2.5 on the Asian Handicap. They can beat Metz with at least three goals and the odds of -109 look generous for this to happen.

PSG on a Big Winning Run Against Metz

Paris Saint-Germain have won six Ligue 1 home games on the spin. On the road at Roazhon Park in their last league match, they were beaten 3-1 by Rennes. Luis Enrique's men enjoyed 68% possession and had seven shots on target, with Ousmane Dembele bagging the goal.

Four days ago, PSG triumphed 3-2 when visiting Monaco in the Champions League.

Bottom-of-the-table Metz have lost in back-to-back Ligue 1 road appearances, while their previous league game was a 3-1 home loss against AJ Auxerre at Stade Saint-Symphorien. Les Grenats had the lion’s share of the ball recording 62% possession and four shots on goal, while Nathan Mbala found the net.

Head-to-Head Statistics
