Metz, Recent FormMetz will not be too troubled by their 2-1 away defeat against Monaco, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they had 24% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Monaco who had 27 attempts and 13 on target.
When it comes to attacking power László Bölöni will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. When playing at home, they have failed to score in their last 2 games and kept only 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Havre AC, Recent FormHavre AC were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against Lens. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Lens had 13 shots on goal with 7 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games away from home.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Nabil Alioui has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Metz.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Les Ciel et Marine in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Metz in their last 6 meetings together. Les Grenats have struggled for goals when Havre AC comes to visit Stade Saint-Symphorien, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Havre AC have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Metz.
In the last 6 league meetings between these sides, Havre AC have shown they are a tough nut to crack, going unbeaten against Metz in all 6 matches.
With only Habib Maïga (Calf) and Kévin N'Doram (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, László Bölöni will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Luka Elsner has a number of injury concerns in his Havre AC squad to contend with: Oualid El Hajjam (Knee), Antoine Joujou (Ankle) and Oussama Targhalline (Muscle)
