Metz 1 - 2 PSG
Another match where everything was decided in extra time. I must admit that no one expected such a stubborn struggle between first place and last. By the way, initially three minutes were added to the match, but it seemed to me that the referee was a little late with the final whistle and allowed PSG to win?

Metz - PSG game is going on with a 1-1 score. We are in the second half and I see that PSG are the dominant side. They found the first goal of the game very early with Hakimi. But Metz were still able to respond in the last minutes of the first half. I actually don't have any doubt that PSG will beat their opponent here. By the way, Messi is missing because of a knee injury. Now, we see Neymar - Icardi - Mbappe trio in the field. I think that PSG will score 2 more goals and be victorious.
Hakimi saved the victory for PSG scoring at 95th minute after great assist from Neymar. but overall impression from PSG performance in this match is not good. seems like they underestimated Metz.

In Ligue 1 of the French championship, they have no equal, it is a fact, and if they become champions and win the cup it will not surprise anyone and it will be unnecessary for anyone if PSG does not win the Champions League. Even if they win the Champions League, people will talk, - of course with such a line-up, you can win. ) But in fact, the team's play is not impressive, and Messi does not fit into the team, maybe it's too early and he needs time? But the same Ronaldo started to score from the first match and does it all the time.
Ligue 1 isn't competitive like other top football league. Because only PSG have the strongest lineup and they are hot favourite team in this season. Maybe they will win the match today by scoring few goals against Metz. PSG owner have the desire to win the Champions League. They should obtain it as their squad is best now.However, this is the first time for Messi to change a club in his whole career. So, it's normal to not get fit in the team within a short time. Where Ronaldo had similar experience (team changing) before and he got back into his old club.

Messi not Starting the match today,and from the look of the lineups PSG mean business. Am not expecting less than 3 goals from this team fielded today.
Current scores after 10 minutes Achraf Hakimi scores for PSG: Mets 0-1 PSG
An early goal followed later by a draw from Kouyate and the result is 1-1 in the first half.. PSG will score later for sure tho and 3 goals should be achievable imo.Current scores after 10 minutes Achraf Hakimi scores for PSG: Mets 0-1 PSG
Looking to the other games results, I see Nice and Lyon receiving 1 goal each in the first half vs not hard opponents... What a mess.

Rennes is on fire, scored 5 goals against Clermont, looking to an easy win after three loses in a row
seems that Wednesday is full of goals in all leagues, there is a tone in France so far, over1.5 in all matches, what could PSG make in Metz tonight, maybe we could expect goals there as well, over 5.5 maybe?
I doubt PSG could score that much although it is possible of course. Otherwise Rennes knocked badly Clermont with 6 goals to 0! It is incredible considering the performance shown by Clermont previously. seems that Wednesday is full of goals in all leagues, there is a tone in France so far, over1.5 in all matches, what could PSG make in Metz tonight, maybe we could expect goals there as well, over 5.5 maybe?
Meanwhile Lille won 2-1 vs Reims, surprise not surprise

Lyon should a nice pick tonight, but there is no value @1.3, waiting for HT draw to enter live

You are right. So far the PSG team has not seen any impressive gameplay. Messi has performed in 3 matches. But he could not score a goal. Neymar has not scored yet. PSG relies on Mbappe for goals. The strategy that PSG is playing now needs to change. The coach should focus on this aspect so that all the players of the team can easily adapt to any strategy. Otherwise, they will have to give up their dream of winning the Champions League despite being a strong team. Also with time Poch will understand the best way to use these player’s at his disposal, and if they win the champions league then I’ll be happy for them because they’ll win on their merits and silence their critics.
I'm not saying Messi failed at PSG. But he has played 3 matches. His performance has not improved yet. Although I think PSG players are not as friendly as Manchester United players. Coaches should now apply new tactics. It is important to find out the reason why the performance has deteriorated so much despite having so many good players in the team. It is the responsibility of the coach to ensure that all the players perform at their best.

I'm still waiting and hoping PSG can be like German king Bayern Munich, PSG so far only won by a reasonable score which despite winning big but PSG still can't win big with a clean sheet. Tonight PSG will play away against Metz, where Metz is the bottom team in the standings which PSG should be able to take advantage of to win big. Indeed it's not something important, but for a big team like PSG this should be able to show its stunning dominance because then it will prove their expenses and achievements.
Yes your right i did notice that and plus most teams they they faced were average teams exept for lyon and today they will face metz a team with no win and three points in the bottom of the table and looks like messi will not play i think this will be good for psg since he is not yet back to his form.

Messi is still continuing his goal drought this season with PSG after being confirmed injured and missing the game against Metz, of course this is not a good start for Messi who has missed two games without contributing goals at all for PSG, many fans are hoping Messi can immediately give his first goal for PSG this season.
actually i just found out that messi had an injury to his knee, even though i think in the previous game, messi was very angry because it was pulled out by Pochettino in order with reason avoid him to an injury that might have happened in that match, but it turns out that now messi has a pretty knee injury rare throughout Messi career so far, from some news that I read, Messi was declared to have a bone bruise and the injury was caused by a direct blow to the bone which caused bleeding in it and the injury could spread to other body tissues such as muscle and fat.Pochettino decision to change Messi in the Lyon match was the right thing even though it received a negative response from messi himself, I think now messi must realize and apologize for his annoyance at Pochettino

for now PSG has enough skill to keep winning streak in Ligue 1 even without great performance from Messi or Neymar. they should win in Metz even without Messi.

Messi does not have enough time in a new club. PSG should feel happy because Messi just a little bit far from serious injuries. Two times in a last couple of weeks, he did not get serious injury.At Messi age now, if he get a serious injury, his career will be down too much and his career lifespan will be shorter dramatically.

First, we have matches like Lille vs Reims and Monaco vs St Etienne.
Lille have a great opportunity to start a good form as their opponent is quite weak. As long as they play carefully and be more effective as for attacking, there is nothing holding them back for becoming victorious here. I hope to see Burak Yilmaz scoring in this one also.
Monaco are also one of the losing teams so far but they have the capability to pull themselves together actually. The players just need to start believing in themselves a lot. This will help them be much better at winning matches. They are actually not having problem on having dangerous attacks but their problem is finishing. If they start getting better at it, then something will start to change a lot for them. I hope to see them winning this match too.

@LittleBitFunny the comparison of Ronaldo scoring and Messi not scoring is wrong, because Ronaldo is used to playing for different teams and Messi isn’t you’ll need to give him some more time before considering him to be a failure at PSG.
Also with time Poch will understand the best way to use these player’s at his disposal, and if they win the champions league then I’ll be happy for them because they’ll win on their merits and silence their critics.

PSG is supposed to win against Club Brugge. I never expected a draw for them. Although, no team in the Champion League is weak, but PSG have a standard squad which won't have been difficult for them to win in the Champion League. They also have to minimise the number of goal they concede in Ligue 1, they have conceded 6 goals in 6 matches. They have a match today against Metz, which is currently at the bottom of the standings. Am expecting them to scored 4 to 5 goals. And also win with clean sheet.
There are no weak teams in the Champions League, but in each group it is 99% known which 2 teams will advance to the next round
I also think that a lot of goals will be scored in this match, odds on this indicator are quite interesting:0-1 5,6
2-3 2,18
4-5 2,9
6+ 7
It would be fun to guess the inarticulate game from PSG (everything can be) and to bet on the first outcome, but I will not risk that.

Metz - PSG
Whether Messi will be able to play in today's match is not yet certain. He has a knee injury. It seems that today PSG will form a team without Messi. However, whatever the squad, I believe PSG will continue to win today.

The weakest team of the season and the worst-performing team is Metz. Those who have not yet won any match but have lost 3 matches and drawn 3 matches. So their main goal will be to draw in today's match. All 10 of them will play as defenders today. So if PSG wants to win today's match, it is important to strengthen the forward from the defense. Messi and Di Maria will not play today. Although Mbappe alone is enough to destroy a weak team like Metz.
