PSG
In this season, Parisians may not appear as formidable, despite leading the championship with a 5-point margin. In the last round, under the guidance of Luis Enrique, they couldn't secure a win against Lille away, as the opponent leveled the score at 1-1 in the 90+3rd minute. This interrupted PSG's eight-match winning streak in the league. PSG's performance in the Champions League was unimpressive, barely securing the second spot in the "group of death." However, they were fortunate with the draw for the Round of 16, facing Real Sociedad, a favorable matchup. The club faces seven personnel losses before this encounter.
Metz
Metz is currently not making a significant impression in the championship, holding the 14th position with a three-point buffer from the danger zone. In the last round, the team suffered a 0-1 home defeat to Montpellier, despite looking better than the opponent. Consequently, the club extended its streak of losses, indicating a crisis.
It's time to focus on retaining a spot in the elite, as the relegation zone is getting dangerously close. One player will be absent for Metz.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
