Saturday evening in Lorraine brings a kind of lopsided Ligue 1 matchup, with Metz hanging at the bottom of the table while Paris Saint-Germain arrive chasing the top spot.
Metz are coming off a rough 3-1 loss at Auxerre that dropped them back into the basement, and PSG, despite thrashing Rennes 5-0, are still sitting second and very much in the title mix.
For Metz, things honestly looked brighter not too long ago. Stephane Le Mignan had them rolling into the November break after winning three league games straight, and it really felt like they were finding their feet again. But since then, it's gone sideways pretty fast.
