The veritable false start of Paris Saint-Germain is perfect. In addition to two defeats, there was also the “red tide” in the prestige duel against Olympique Marseille. However, things are going in quick succession for the Champions League finalists and the Tuchel is back in action on Wednesday evening. Due to the Champions League final, Paris had no game on the first matchday, this game will now be made up on Wednesday in the Prinzenpark. PSG receives FC Metz – who are also still pointless and goalless at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table.
The catch-up game on the first day of the game degenerates into a basement duel and nonetheless, it can be referred to as a duel between David and Goliath. Even if some well-known players are still missing from the home side, anything but a win would be a big surprise. The best bookmakers offer odds of just 1.28 for the home side’s success in the game between PSG and Metz.
After the inglorious end against Marseille, the Tuchel hopes to finally be able to write sporty headlines again. The game starts on Wednesday evening in the Prinzenpark.

PSG – Statistics & current form
PSG would like to delete the last few weeks from the club’s history. After an ex-PSG player scored the winning goal in the Champions League final, an Ibiza vacation for several players during the extremely short summer break resulted in several positive cases that resulted in quarantine. As if that wasn’t enough, the start of the new season was completely ruined. Two games, zero points, zero goals are the disastrous record of the great dominator.
Five exclusions against Marseille
In the league opener against Lens, a complete B-Elf had to compete, which ended in a 1-0 defeat due to a hair-raising mistake by young goalkeeper Bulka. After this bankruptcy, there was a prestige duel at home against Olympique Marseille, the runner-up last season. An extremely hectic game, which was characterized by many fouls, and accordingly there was a flood of cards to be seen early on.
In the final phase, PSG pushed for equalization after the Thauvin leadership in round one, before the players burned the fuses in stoppage time and five players were sent off after a fight, alleged spitting attacks, and racist remarks. In addition to Leandro Paredes and Layvin Kurzawa, superstar Neymar also received a dismissal.
After the inglorious end, PSG had the worst start to the season since 1984 and for the first time since 2011, a duel against archenemy Marseille was lost. Nevertheless, Tuchel insists on staying calm. The tense situation is by no means made any easier by the recent failures.
The pressure is enormous – we have to win
In the 2018/19 season, it took 23 laps before PSG had six loss points. This has now been achieved after just two rounds, the pressure on Thomas Tuchel, who has no credit with sports director Leonardo anyway, is enormous.
The last few weeks were by no means easy due to the external circumstances and a weak start to the season is not a huge surprise. The turnaround must now succeed again because even without several stars at PSG against Metz, the tip on a home win will be the logical choice. The quality in the squad is a lot higher, after all, there are still top stars like Angel di Maria, Marco Verratti, Pablo Sarabia, or Presnel Kimpembe available.
Probable formation of PSG:
↳ Rico – Bernat, Kimpembe, Kehrer, Florenzi – Verratti, Gueye, Herrera – Di Maria, Kalimuendo, Sarabia

Metz – Statistics & current form
The fans of garnet reds from Metz have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions in recent years, with almost every season-ending with promotion or relegation. Under head coach Vincent Hognon, the second division champions managed to make a direct return to the French upper house in 2018/19. At the time of the end of the season, the climber was in 15th place last season and was already seven points ahead of the first relegation place.
There are not many goals to be seen at Metz
The club, which is based near the German border, impressed with a very strong defense. However, this meant that the performance on the offensive often left something to be desired. Only 27 goals in 28 games, the third-worst offensive in the entire league. However, 35 goals are a very strong figure for a team from the bottom third of the table.
On average, only 2.21 hits were scored in games with Metz participation. Ten of the 28 games ended with an over 2.5 – on Wednesday between PSG and Metz odds of 1.53 are offered for this prediction. However, a goal from Metz cannot be expected, because in 2019/20 the Hognon scored a meager nine goals in 14 away games.
Two 0-1 defeats at the start of the season
Even after the break of several months, nothing changed in the way the garnets played. Often only a mild breeze in front, relatively stable on the defensive, but a few insecurities are often severely punished. As a result – identical to PSG – two narrow 0-1 defeats are recorded after two games. Metz had to admit defeat to both AS Monaco and OSC
Lille with this result.
However, this does not represent a break in the leg, because in the fight to keep relegation Metz will not have to score the points against the two previous opponents or PSG. After the guest’s appearance at Marseille is on the program on the fifth matchday, the hunt for points for the Hognon will start realistically only after that.
Probable formation of Metz:
↳ Oukidja – Udol, Boye, Bronn, Centronze – Fofana – Nguette, Pajot, Angban, Maiga – Niane

Key facts – PSG vs Metz tips
⭐️ Worst start to the season since 1984 for PSG
⭐️ PSG have won the last eight league games against Metz – six times with at least two goals difference
⭐️ Metz scored only nine away goals in 14 away games in 2019/20
A bet on the three-way market does not appear to be particularly lucrative, but the tip on a handicap success is more interesting. After three games without a goal of their own (including the Champions League final), this is not obvious, but the existing quality in the squad is still there to shoot the frustration of your soul.
Also, Tuchel has to make amends after the scandal against Marseille. In this regard, clear success is expected, which will be alluded to on Wednesday evening with a stake of six units.
