Metz Team News
The home team welcomes this duel in thirteenth place in the table with fifteen points won. The position in the table hides the fact that Metz is only one point away from the danger zone, so it cannot be said that the home team is in a good position.
What is not going well for them is undoubtedly the goal-scoring performance in the last five games. Metz scored only one goal in those matches, and with such a weak offensive performance, it is tough to expect anything more than a fight for survival. However, they play much better at home than away, so their performance at home could be why the bookies consider them favorites here.
They scored ten goals and conceded eight goals in seven matches at home, and as their next opponent is a team that concedes a little less than two goals per match away from home, we believe that Metz could finally end its bad goal-scoring streak.
St. Etienne Team News
If the French Football Federation had not taken three points from them, St. Etienne would be out of the danger zone in this game. The visiting team currently occupies the penultimate place in the table, with only eleven points won after thirteen games.
What currently sets them apart is their average number of goals. So far, they have scored twenty and conceded twenty-three goals, so with an average of 3.3 goals per game, they are the first in efficiency. In the last five meetings, they scored thirteen goals (average 2.6), so it can be said that they are out of form. They are in a challenging position and need points as soon as possible.
This means St. Etienne doesn’t have much time to wait and has to play with recognizable aggressiveness. In their favor is that Metz is not much better than them, so it is likely that the guests could score more than one goal in this game.
