Mbappe speaks of 'magical move' ahead of season finale against Metz.

Desperate to sidestep relegation and end a dismal run of losses, Metz face the daunting challenge of newly crowned champions PSG in a season-finale showdown at Stade Saint-Symphorien.

Metz

Metz, currently in 16th place, take on PSG while coming off the back of three defeats in a row, most recently a 2-1 loss to Strasbourg. This leaves Metz with just 29 points after 8 wins, 5 draws, and 20 losses as they head into the final game of the season.

They are at risk of relegation if they lose and 17th-placed Lorient (26 points) manages to secure a seven-goal margin win over already-relegated Clermont. Despite this, Metz will be focusing on their own performance, with a finish in the playoff spot being their primary objective.

Metz have lost each of their last 13 Ligue 1 matches against Paris. A defeat here would equal the longest losing streak for a club against the same opponent in Ligue 1 history.

Interestingly, they have managed to score in each of their last 11 Ligue 1 matches. Matching this record to a 12-goal scoring run last seen between October 1994 and January 1995 would be a notable achievement.

László Bölöni is likely to deploy a 4-3-3 formation, with Georges Mikautadze, Kévin Van Den Kerkhof, and Diallo leading the attack in this Sunday's clash with PSG.

Paris Saint Germain

PSG, with 21 wins, 10 draws, and 2 losses accumulating 73 points, got back to winning ways in the midweek round of fixtures. They secured a 2-1 victory over ten-man OGC Nice, with goals from Bradley Barcola at 18 minutes and Yoram Zague at 23 minutes helping Les Parisiens edge the match.

Despite Nice pulling one back well before Melvin Bard was sent off at 75 minutes, PSG managed to maintain their lead. They will be looking to secure one more win before the French Cup final against Marseille, scheduled for May 25. Notably, the newly crowned champions have won just two of their last six final games of a Ligue 1 season.

Having conceded at least once in each of their last 10 matches in all competitions, Les Parisiens might face challenges in securing a win here. A 4-3-3 formation with Barcola, Lee, and Kylian Mbappe—who did not feature in the midweek win over Nice—is expected in attack.

Mbappe will likely play his final league match for the club, having announced his impending departure last week. "I am going to lose lots of things [by leaving France/PSG] but gain lots of other things. I am looking forward. I am super excited. What awaits me will be magical," said Mbappé, who is expected to join Real Madrid in the summer.
