Metz haven’t enjoyed their return to Ligue 1 as much as Paris FC ahead of the two sides’ Sunday meeting. Going into this match, Metz are stuck at the bottom while Paris just opened up an 11-point buffer from the relegation zone. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
It increasingly looks like Metz will not survive another season in Ligue 1. After their latest 3-1 defeat to Marseille, Les Grenats have fallen 13 points below safety.
After 20 defeats in the season, Metz are left with just 15 points from their 29 matches. Their three wins were consecutive, between October and November, and since then they’ve gone winless in 17 league matches.
Paris FC, who beat Metz to the automatic promotion in Ligue 2, will definitely finish above their hosts again. Otherwise, at the moment, they still need five points to guarantee survival.
Les Parisiens moved closer to that target with a well-worked 4-1 win against in-form Monaco in the last round. The result extended their undefeated run in Ligue 1 to seven games, four of which were drawn.
They are, however, winless in their last six away matches across all competitions. Each of their latest five league games on the road ended in draws.
