Below, we preview the FC Metz vs. Paris St. Germain odds and lines, and make our best Ligue 1 bets, picks and predictions.
This is quite literally the top against the bottom of the Ligue 1 table. The dominant attack from PSG has kept it undefeated and it has scored 18 goals against 6 allowed.
Led by F Lionel Messi, F Neymar and F Kylian Mbappe, PSG has arguably the best attacking trio in the world. It will be tough for FC Metz, which has given up 13 goals through 6 games, to slow them down.
Metz’s best showing was a 2-2 draw with Clermont Foot. Following that match, Metz lost back-to-back matches against Troyes and Strasbourg while giving up 5 combined goals.

PSG 4, FC Metz 0
Money line (ML)
“LEAN” to PARIS ST. GERMAIN (-350).
The only thing keeping you away from this bet is the price; however, PSG is taking on the worst Ligue 1 side and is coming off a 2-1 win over Lyon which followed a dominant 4-0 defeat of Clermont Foot in Ligue 1 play.
FC Metz didn’t score in back-to-back matches and its struggles are obvious, one reason that a BET FOR ONE TEAM NOT TO SCORE (-116) is enticing.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET the OVER 3.5 (+120) as FC Metz allowed three goals last time out and those goals were against an inferior Strasbourg attack, so when lining up Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar against a side that’s as fragile as Metz, goals are bound to be pouring in.
PSG scored 4 goals in three of its last five Ligue 1 games. As a plus-money bet, this is a home run pick.
