Despite netting no fewer than 12 goals in their pair of fixtures with Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in 2022, PSG’s previous attacking excellence on Les Dogues’ turf counted for little on Sunday, where the champions needed a Kylian Mbappe penalty to break the deadlock deep into the second half.
However, as Luis Enrique introduced fresh legs onto the scene in a bid to see the game out, one PSG substitute inadvertently helped a fellow Lille replacement to snatch a point from the jaws of defeat, as Marco Asensio’s poor pass out from the back ended with Jonathan David heading home the equaliser four minutes into added-on time.

While the runaway champions may find the back of the net for fun in the capital, Metz’s frailties in the final third once again came to the fore during Sunday’s visit of Montpellier HSC, who condemned Les Grenats to a third successive scoreless defeat since the start of the month.
Having previously bowed to Lille and Brest’s superiority without breaching their opposition’s backline, Metz succumbed to a clever header from first-time senior goalscorer Maxime Esteve at the 100-year-old Stade Saint-Symphorien, where Laszlo Boloni’s crop fired 19 shots to no avail.

It would not be beyond the realm of possibility for Metz to switch to a defence-heavy setup in a bid to quell the PSG strikeforce, who are normally in a merciless mood at the Parc des Princes, but their resistance should ultimately prove futile.
Profligacy has harmed Enrique’s men heading into the Christmas period, but a straightforward success – their 14th in a row against Metz – should come their way before the New Year celebrations commence.
PSG 4-0 Metz, predicted by us.
