Paris Saint-Germain hosts Metz in round 1 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 16th at Parc des Princes (Paris)
PSG not only couldn’t win in the last three matches – it couldn’t even score a goal in them. All right, there was the Champions League final against Bayern, although the French created attempts for a couple of goals. Okay, the Parisians played the first match of the local championship with a weakened squad. But the Parisians could not score in the last home match against Marseille, and Di Maria, Veratti, Herrera and Neymar were on the pitch. Beyond that, Neymar picked up a red card.

Metz returned to the elite only the year before last. In the last season, it managed not to leave it only thanks to two victories in the last two rounds of the championship. I think the Maroons will fight for survival again. They have already lost two debut games of the tournament, though the defeats were minimal (1-0). Well, Metz had to meet with Monaco and Lille. Now furious PSG is waiting for a suitable victim to pour out the whole stream of its anger on it.
There is no doubt that PSG will finally gain the first victory in the championship. It has beaten Metz in the last nine head-to-head matches in a row. There are only questions with what score the champion will beat the outsider. Most likely, the Parisians will find their best game in the third match of the championship and will score a whole bunch of goals to the net of innocent Metz. Neymar will not appear on the pitch, but it's even good. The eternal whiner, who has half a dozen goal attempts in each match and sometimes does not convert any of them, only pulls the blanket over himself, not allowing his partners to realize their abilities. Even if Mbape, who is still in quarantine, does not appear on the pitch, the hosts still have someone to score about half a dozen goals. And Metz regularly concedes a lot from PSG. In seven of the last nine meetings, Tuchel's men scored three or more goals to the net of Metz. Based on all the available data, it is quite possible to expect a confident and lopsided victory of PSG in this match.
Prediction for the match: Paris Saint-Germain to win and Over 2.5 goals scored
