Metz
Following a 1-1 draw with Lille in the Ligue 1 derby, PSG will look to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they take on Metz on Wednesday evening. Les Parisiens are leading the chase for the domestic trophy and you should know that they are eyeing their sixth consecutive win in front of home fans. A man to watch in the home team will be Kylian Mbappe, who scored the opener against Les Dogues, while all Fabian Ruiz, Keylor Navas, and Sergio Rico are out of contention with injuries.
Les Grenats, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team extending their losing run to three games against Montpellier. Metz face an uphill task in the midweek clash and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling PSG’s party at Parc des Princes. Both Oscar Estupinan and Aboubacar Lo miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Metz):
Thanks to amalgamation of two amateur clubs Metz were founded in 1932 and soon they became a professional team. Les Grenats are one of the oldest professional teams in France, but they have yet to win the Ligue 1 trophy. Metz finished the 1997/1998 season in second place in the standings and it has to be noted that they were level on points with champions Lens (worse goal difference).
However, les Grenats won Coupe de France on two occasions (1983/1984, 1987/1988), with the team beating Monaco and Sochaux respectively in the title games. Emmanuel Adebayor is considered one of the most famous players who whore Metz jersey and you should know that the Togolese attacker scored 15 goals in 44 appearances in the league for the club.
Metz play their home games at Stade Saint-Symphorien, the venue which was opened back in September, 1923. Les Grenats wear red shirts and white shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kits is white.
