After a one week International break, Metz hosts Paris Saint Germain in the 14th round of the French Ligue 1.
Metz having a very nice season after coming back to the Ligue 1 … 9th place, 18 points in 13 matches and especially at home Metz has been sensational: 4 wins and 2 draws in 6 games, undefeated. In the last game Metz lost 3-0 against Toulouse and showed that they have their limits, but will be happy to return at home where they are simply another team. Coach Cartier said that Metz relishes this game as a celebration and the players will give their all … if the result does not come it will be ok, if it comes it will be great … which I think is the right attitude. Metz doesn’t have new injury problems and welcomes back Bussmann.
Bet on Metz – PSG with the best Ligue 1 asian handicap odds at Sbobet.
Paris Saint Germain had a lot of problems in the start of the league and for this reason they are only second in the standings (still undefeated, but many draws) … however PSG started to recover and they won all of their last 4 games. Away from home PSG has 3 wins and 4 draws. Ibrahimovic could come back for the Paris side as a result of being rested by Sweden midweek, but Blanc will miss key players in the midfield area like Matuidi, Verrati and Moura. Last two have a minimal chance to play but almost surely will not.
PSG is on a roll lately but you just can’t back them to win every game and if this is not a potential upset, I don`t know what match is. Metz is a really good team and their home record is fantastic, while PSG is struggling on the road. Also Metz had 1 extra week to train and prepare with the International break, while PSG sent all players to National teams and will get them back tired (at least some of them) in addition to missing 3 key players for today. Also PSG has Champions League game coming up Tuesday vs. Ajax and they never performed well before UCL this season (two ugly wins, two draws) … so I am excited to tip and bet Metz +1 asian handicap. If PSG wins it will probably be by 1 goal, but I think Metz gets a point today. Correct score prediction: Metz – PSG 1-1.
Pick: Metz (+1 Asian Handicap)
