Metz, Recent FormMetz will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against Havre AC. They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Havre AC's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
László Bölöni, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 10 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 14 games at Stade Saint-Symphorien.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Stade Saint-Symphorien, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games. They've shown terrible form at Stade Saint-Symphorien this season, losing 8 of their 14 home league games.
Having scored 6 goals in his last 6 league games for Metz, Georges Mikautadze will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Lille, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Lille players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Monaco. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Monaco had 19 shots on goal with 7 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Paulo Fonseca will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing away from home this season, with 7 draws in 15 away league games.
Jonathan David will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Lille.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Lille running out winners in a match that ended 2-0.
In the past 11 away matches at Metz in the league, Les Dogues have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters. Lille have managed to keep a clean sheet against Metz in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. Goals come easy for Lille when they travel to Les Grenats, having recorded 8 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2.67 goals per match.
Lille have built up an impressive record in the league against Metz, going unbeaten in their last 8 meetings.
With only Joel Asoro (Unknown) and Benjamin Tetteh (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, László Bölöni will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Paulo Fonseca has a number of injury concerns in his Lille squad to contend with: Andrej Ilić (Broken foot), Adam Ounas (Calf) and Samuel Umtiti (Knee)
