Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to end their season on a high as they lift the Ligue 1 title after the game as Metz travel to the Parc des Princes with hopes of staying in the division for next season.
All three of the clubs in the relegation spots cannot move out of their positions, and Metz, Bordeaux, and St-Etienne are all aiming to finish in the play-off position which Metz currently occupy.
In fact, they are clear favourites to finish in 18th, with them only needing to match the results in the games of Bordeaux and St-Etienne, as they have a greatly superior goals difference on both sides which is unlikely to be overturned.
Metz have still only managed to win six games this season, and with their 35 goals scored this campaign, only Lorient just above them have managed to bag fewer.
They have also managed to concede 64 times, which sees them with the best defensive record of all three bottom clubs in Ligue 1.
With Metz unable to get out of the bottom three due to the four-point gap on Lorient, the worries for them will be if Lionel Messi and co. score a bunch of goals and make their goals difference even worse, with them only ahead of St-Etienne by six goals.
As for PSG, all eyes of the Parc des Princes will be on Kylian Mbappe in what looks like it could be his final game in the colours of Paris.
Their superstar striker has 25 goals this campaign in a season that could see him become the first-ever player to win both the top scorer award and the assists award in Ligue 1, with him assisting 14 times - this is one more than Messi.
Mbappe is reportedly heading to Real Madrid after this season, so his reception will be interesting as he looks to build on his 25 goals this campaign.
Much of the attention will also be on the photos following the game that will see Messi, Neymar and the Frenchman holding the title together.
Messi also bagged his first brace for PSG in the last game, as he, Mbappe and Angel Di Maria scored in the 4-0 win over Montpellier to put them on 25 wins for the season and 85 goals scored across 37 games.
Forebet predicts a win for the champions here, as the game is expected to see over 2.5 goals.
