As a host St Etienne status as underdog but although St Etienne is the team from Ligue 2 i think there is no guarantee Metz can able to overcomes St Etienne easily even i have to says Metz should beware of St Etienne because their recent records at Ligue 2 is very impressive and in the last 16 matches in that competition St Etienne only lost twice and from those matches St Etienne can gets 11 wins so their performance is much impressive compared to Metz and first leg was helded at St Etienne i am sure they will have more motivation to win from this match

Metz defensive lines was very poor and they are as the team with the most conceded goals with Lorient and Clermont besides that Metz also suffering 4 losing streak in Ligue 1 so they are is not in the good shape and for team condition St Etienne probably still rely on Ibrahim Sissoko for front lines and so far he is St Etienne top scorer with 12 goals in Ligue 2 and in the last match against Rodez although he didn't scored but Ibrahim Sissoko can able to performing well and help this team to gets the winning result and about the outcomes of this match i am sure St Etienne will try to maximize their home match and attempts to beat Metz and my prediction is  St Etienne can able to be the winner of this match

Both teams currently have the last chance to be promoted and relegated from Ligue 1, Metz this season does not have a good enough performance in undergoing the season, from 34 matches they played was only able to win 8 and of course it is not an achievement that is proud enough from a team that was ranked two Ligue 2 last season,  Honestly, compared to all the teams that will have playoff matches to be able to play in Ligue 1 next season, of course I hope that St Etienne can be in Ligue 1 next season, for those of us who have been following and watching Ligue 1 for a long time, of course, we are familiar with St Etienne, which was indeed the top club of Ligue 1 before.

St Etienne this season is ranked 3 Ligue 2 and seeing their chances of having to face Metz of course there is still hope for Etienne to win the game, although indeed in recent seasons Metz has been able to dominate over Etienne but seeing Metz performance this season is quite bad it will certainly not be difficult to get rid of them, I personally hope that if St Etienne next season will be able to return to play in Ligue and repeat all their glory like in the past.

As far as I can see, the odds for the winner of the whole matchup are around:

Metz : 1.70
St Etienne : 2.15

For the first game St Etienne are the home side and I feel like they won't lose here. However like I said before I'm favouring Metz to celebrate staying in the Ligue 1 in the end. It isn't a big achievement to celebrate though. In that case they had better prepare better for next season. They need to improve especially in defense. Other than that the number of goals they scored this season is near even Nice which finished the league at the 5th position. 

Metz will need to defend their French Ligue 1 spot from Saint Etienne in their first leg match today and it will surely not be an easy task to avoid a defeat. The defensive record of Metz in the French Ligue 1 are bad this season as they had conceded a total of 58 goals in 34 matches played. I think Saint Etienne might be able to take advantage of this weakness in Metz and win their first leg match in front of their home fans to boost their chances of securing promotion into French Ligue 1.

PSG has everything to be attractive for recruiting players and also the PSG team has strong enough finances so I think that will be a consideration for Osimhen to choose PSG and also PSG's progress or targets are quite good so it is likely that the players will continue to improve.
After Mbappe's departure, PSG had to look for a suitable replacement and in my opinion Osimhen is the right player to fill the void.

Osimhen is still young, he is also a talented player and his goal scoring instinct is also very, very fast. When faced with two choices between PSG and Chelsea, of course he will choose PSG. There he was able to hone all his skills because he was handled by top coaches and had teammates who had above average abilities. The opportunity to play in the Champions League is also a very strong attraction, Osimhen will hone his skills even more if he often plays in big matches. Players his age must put aside financial offers to support his career with a club that wins the domestic league almost every year. He will also receive a salary increase or offer a bigger salary when he is able to become a key player in his team.

Because Mbappe is still quite young and he is one of the great players that France has, he already has the World Cup title as well as being the best young player and it would be shame if his career had to stagnate without significant improvement in European competition.
PSG is actually not bad team because they are the only best in French football, but that will never be enough and of course Mbappe wants bigger things than just title in French competition.
Moreover, I also want to see how Enrique proves that he previously said that PSG will still be the best even without Mbappe, this could be challenge for Enrique considering that almost all of PSG success is thanks to Mbappe contribution as goal machine.

But speaking of Mbappe leaving PSG, it was the same as Ibrahimovic, where when he became an important player and goal machine for PSG, he went to another team, at that time, Ibrahimovic was really raised by PSG and he became great player for PSG.
But unfortunately until he retired he had never even won UCL title and hopefully Mbappe fate will not be like Ibrahimovic considering that Mbappe also went to the right team, namely Real Madrid.

Players who prefer finances rather than playing in the Champions League are players who are no longer young in age at this time so they think that choosing the financial option will be much more appropriate than choosing the option of playing in the Champions League which is still not certain to win there. . But this is actually different from players who are still young and still aiming for a brilliant career in a famous team at this time, so that player will choose to be in a team that often enters the Champions League in order to prove that he deserves to be in that team.

But unfortunately both parties have not clarified where Mbappe is going next even though there are many rumors saying Mbappe will go to Real Madrid. It would be better if Mbappe said it in public so that the rumors can become a reality and there are no more exaggerated rumors about where Mbappe will go. go, currently we are still asking questions because there has been no confirmation even though we are very sure that there is no club that is more convincing for Mbappe except Real Madrid, but the elite clubs are not only Real Madrid, there are still Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Juventus  but if you look at it based on how Mbappe is a fan of Real Madrid and Ronaldo. I think Mbappe will choose Real Madrid.

PSG will likely look for a replacement for Mbappe but I'm not sure Victor Oshimen wants to move to PSG because he has extended his contract with Napoli, and the club also doesn't want to lose Oshimen if PSG wants to recruit Oshimen at least PSG will have to pay compensation regarding Oshimen's contract and possibly Napoli too will open up high prices for these important player, after all, Oshimen is at Napoli, which is an elite club, and if he was at PSG, he will feel the same thing as Mbappe experienced.

New Napoli manager Antonio Conte will sell Victor Osimhen for signing Romelu Lukaku, its not only rumor but true depend on which one team will give interested offer for Napoli and sell him with higher fees transfer. I think difference position and typical games play between Victor Osimhen and Mbappe can play well as left winger or central forward but Victor Oshimhen is target men typical difficult for playing as left or right winger position.

PSG not faced difficult with financial for signing most expensive players and Victor Osimhen will not rejected if any offer from PSG exactly will pay more bigger salary payment receiving from Napoli, but will comfortable for Victor Osimhen playing at Ligue 1 who know PSG only is the team dominance there?

Osimhen needs to make priority, if he wants to develop his career, his best option is joining Arsenal which is desperate for a better striker, but if he chooses money, PSG or Chelsea will be his club next season. I'm afraid a player like Osimhen will be directed by his agent about where to play next. If this really happens, PSG will have a strong chance to sign him.

I think Osimhen will prefer to choose PSG than Chelsea, if he has consideration of a good team management for him to develop. Luis Enrique is undoubtedly much better coach than Maresca, and Chelsea currently is not a good place to have development for talented players. Chance to play in Champions League is a factor for a player to choose a club, but I don't think it's a big factor anymore, we have seen many top talents choose a better financial offer rather than chance to play in Champions League.

About Osimhen, the strong rumor is to join Chelsea and if that really happens, then it looks likePSG will be difficult to get new players to fill the vacant position left by Mbappe. But, with events likethis also at least prove,that eventhough the team has a lot of money but it is still difficult for PSG to get great players with great potential.Because after all,the mainfactor of the team having a lot of great players is about great management as well and of course,  the team factor that has had a great history in the Champion League. Unfortunately,PSG still failed to make a great history in the Champions League despite previously PSG having players like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar and ofcourse some other great players.

With the abilities he has, Mbappe can easily adapt to any squad, because the coach will adjust his strategy to maximize Mbappe potential. If there are no obstacles such as injury, Mbappe will definitely be able to adapt quickly to his new team. If Mbappe goes to Madrid, the adaptation process will go even faster, maybe the process will be the same as Bellingham.

While strengthening PSG, Mbappe has given all the best from himself, only in the Champions League, luck has not been on their side. It is clear that PSG fans have to thank Mbappe for his contribution while strengthening PSG. Although on the other hand, fans dislike of Mbappe because wanting to leave is also understandable, slso from a business perspective, this decision is very detrimental to PSG.

Dreams must be worked for, Madrid offers a way to make it happen, and Mbappe certainly won't waste it. The Champions League trophy and various other individual awards are closer to being achieved if Mbappe lands at the Santiago Bernabeu, a guarantee that PSG cannot offer in order to convince Mbappe to stay longer at the club.

When mbappe was still committed to PSG, I don't think there were fans who didn't like him all this time, a dislike arose when mbappe no longer had the desire to extend the contract, now some PSG fans of course have hatred for mbappe and they forget all the contributions and achievements that mbappe has given so far for PSG,  But I think maybe there are still many fans who do have a more open mind and respect all the decisions that have been taken by Mbappe at this time, PSG who have always relied on Mbappe in every game they certainly have time for them to move forward and choose other players who they can rely on like Mbappe so far.

PSG have unlimited resources to find a replacement or successor to Mbappe next season and of course they will have no problem getting him in the summer transfer market, currently Mbappe is rumored to be very close to joining Madrid although there has been no official confirmation from the two, Mbappe desire to get the prestigious Champions League trophy is certainly the main reason for his move.

overall he has done a very good job with Paris Saint Germain, he made a big contribution to Paris Saint Germain during his time in Paris. So he shouldn't be hated for that reason, the only reason why he is disliked is because he decided to leave Paris Saint Germain.

He has a good future if he really joins Real Madrid. There he can achieve something he has wanted all along, achievements in the domestic league and achievements at European level, in this case the Champions League.

However, he also has to go through an adaptation process, and with the abilities he has, he should be able to go through the adaptation process quickly.

Mbappe may not be liked all that much by some fans now, but that dude scored so many goals and brought so many great victories to PSG and that should be the most important part. I believe that he has done what he could for the club, and the club just couldn't put a team around him that could win the UCL eventually.

I believe that as soon as he joins Real Madrid, he will have a chance to win it because Real already goes there without him, wouldn't be a shock if they dominate for a few more seasons. If they do not ruin the club somehow, they could actually have a great future, their whole team is quite young, and winning back to back a few times in the next 10 years isn't really out of the picture for them considering the talent.

Looks like it's no longer just a rumor. In fact, Mbappe has really idolized Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo since childhood. And Mbappe has also got everything in Ligue 1. He has to play in a more competitive league to make him worthy of being called the best striker in the world at the moment. Reportedly, Mbappe joined Real Madrid on a free transfer because his contract with PSG was about to end and Mbappe had not yet extended his contract. This means that Real Madrid will get one of the most expensive players in the world at the moment almost for free. Madrid's attack line will be very dangerous next season. And PSG must ensure that they get a replacement striker next season. Osimhen is very worthy but I haven't got any news about Osimhen and PSG.

I have read this news too that after confirmed PSG without Mbappe next season then they will starting to targetting some players to bought as the replacement of Mbappe and just like i said before Luis Enrique want to buy at least 4 or 5 players to strengthen PSG squad and Kvaratskhelia was into their radar and it says PSG is really serious want to buy him and opening bid for Kvaratskhelia is 100 millions which this price is very high but it is up to Napoli president whether he decides to sell Kvaratskhelia or not and because Napoli will lost Osimhen next summer then there is possibility they will not sell Kvaratskhelia so this transfer is hard to be realized

Apparently PSG will be very active this summer to gets more players because besides Kvaratskhelia PSG also targetting other players and Newcastle player Bruno Guimaraes also was into their buy lists but PSG have to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City and it says Bruno Guimaraes has 100 millions release clause into his contract so those who want him should be buy according to his release clause price but PSG is rich team i think 100 millions is not a big deal for them

During Kylian time at PSG, he was able to reach some milestones and achieve some things that till date still ring a loud bell in the world of football. When you look at these achievements of him, you will under well why psg pAid him real huge and are trying to still keep him to their club. Now you can begin to think if he will he able to maintain such level when he moves to Real Madrid.

 ⁠It is safe to say Mbappe has now written down his name in gold in the good history books of PSG as a club as he now bags the highest goal scorer for the club as a whole. It doesn’t just end there but he has also been able to win trophies for the club and I think the fans won’t forget this or take it for granted. Though he hasn’t still been able to win the UCL which I think is one major drive for his move to Real Madrid.

 ⁠Of course him at Real Madrid will be the start of a new phase for him especially as the players there are also great and you can already imagine how much of competition will be on in the team already. He will now be playing for the La Liga and also challenging for the UCL and you can already be sure that his talent and skill will be able to help him scale through this hurdle.
Winning trophies as a team is one things that is imminent whilst at Real Madrid but when you look at Kylian having the individual awards will require him having more consistent performance. Him emulating the performance at PSG and keeping at very high level will of course be able to get him to win the Balon D’ or.

So far he no longer needs to prove what in Ligue 1, as far as his performances and also his contribution at PSG are huge and as you said of course Mbappe now needs to look for other proofs in other leagues, so far Mbappe has managed to prove his capacity as the best player and attacker in Ligue 1, won many championship trophies and also has the status of Ligue 1 top scorer in a row so far of course proves him It deserves to be appreciated very expensively, but of course he also still has dreams that have not been fulfilled and maybe even will not complete all the achievements he achieved if he has not been able to win the Champions League trophy and Ballon'Or during his career.

Dissatisfaction with all that he has achieved certainly made him choose to go to Madrid in order to fulfill a dream that he had difficulty getting if he stayed with PSG, currently Madrid and Mbappe are rumored to be working together but so far we have not heard any confirmation from both parties this time, but strong rumors circulating are of course most likely Mbappe will join Madrid,  So I think other La Liga clubs should be wary of the attacking line owned by Madrid next season.
