Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) faces FC Metz this Saturday at 21:05 at the Parc des Princes, where a win could see them reclaim the top spot in Ligue 1 following Lens' recent defeat. With an impressive track record, PSG aims to continue their dominance over promoted teams, having not lost a match against a newcomer in their last 39 home encounters, including 35 victories and 4 draws since May 2010.

The match also highlights the struggles of Ukrainian defender Zabarnyi, who was brought in as a high-profile signing to compete with the silky Brazilian player. Despite the expectations tied to his arrival, he has yet to convince critics and fans alike, with this match being a crucial opportunity for him to prove his worth to the squad and its supporters.

Additionally, PSG boasts an impressive winning streak against Metz, having won their last 15 encounters in Ligue 1, marking one of the longest successful runs against a single opponent in the league. As the team prepares for this encounter, they carry the weight of their historical success against Metz and the necessity to capitalize on the moment, which could define their season as they vie for the championship title once again.
