Prediction: 1-3
PSG
Thanks to Mauro Icardi’s late goal PSG defeated Olympique Lyon in the Ligue 1 derby. Star signing Leo Messi has yet to find the net in the new Ligue 1 campaign, but, as always, all eyes will be on the former Barcelona man when les Parisiens take on Metz on Wednesday evening. Kylian Mbappe has overcome his injury, but all Ramos, Verratti, Kurzawa, Gharbi, Dagba, and Bernat remain in the recovery room.
Les Grenats, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with three points in their pocket from possible 18. The rock-bottom side are low on confidence ahead of the visit of PSG, and we do not believe that they are capable of shocking the star-studded title-chasing side. All Boulaya, Cabit, N’Doram, and Nguette are out of contention with injuries for the home side. Thomas Delaine will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Opa Nguette):
After spending his youth career at Mantes and Valenciennes, Opa Nguette made his senior debut for Mantes in 2011. In 2012 he returned to his boyhood club Valenciennes and it has to be noted that the attacker scored 8 goals in 60 appearances for the club from 2012 to 2016.
Opa Nguette is currently playing for Metz in Ligue 1 and his contract with the club expires on June 30, 2019. The pacey footballer who is capable of playing as both left and right winger has three caps for France U20 team, but he made his senior debut with Senegal. Opa Nguette played 65 minutes in a 1-1 draw with Nigeria on his debut for the Senegal national team.
The Caen attacker, who was born in Mantes-la-Jolie on July 8, 1994, scored four goals for Metz in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign. He made three assists for his teammates as well during the season and you should bear in mind that he played 33 games in the league for les Grenats.
Highlighted Team (PSG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
