Metz will not be too troubled by their 4-3 away defeat against Brest, given the latter currently sit 15 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with 34% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Brest managed 24 attempts on goal, with 10 on target.
László Bölöni, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 10 goals scored. They have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 13 home games this season.
They've had a dismal run of form at Stade Saint-Symphorien recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 home games, their solitary win providing little consolation. They've shown terrible form at Stade Saint-Symphorien this season, losing 8 of their 13 home league games.
Goalscorer Georges Mikautadze will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Metz.

Lens manager Franck Haise will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Havre AC. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Havre AC's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, and in this season's away games, they've recorded 8 clean sheets out of a possible 14.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Elye Wahi will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Lens.
