Metz Form


Metz had a poor end to the regular season due to their inability to keep clean sheets. They conceded nine goals in their final four matches to finish third in Ligue 2.

Steephane Le Mignan’s side drew twice at home in that run, 2-2 against Red Star and 3-3 against Rodez. They conceded late in a 2-1 defeat at Pau and ended with a 3-2 victory at Laval where Cheikh TidianeSabaly and Idrissa Gueye scoring in the final five minutes.

Metz beat Dunkerque 1-0 in the promotion play-offs on Saturday. They played against 10 men for the final 30 minutes, going ahead through an own goal in added time.

Reims Form


Reims lost their final three matches of the regular season to drop into the relegation play-off position by one point. 

Samba Diawara saw his side take 16-8 shots in a 1-0 defeat at Nice and 19-9 shots as they lost 2-0 at home against Saint-Etienne.

Reims ended the regular season with a 2-1 defeat at Lille where they were completely outplayed. They ended the contest with 22% possession and 5-21 shots, hanging on until the 86th minute when they conceded a penalty.

Predicted Starting Lineups


Metz (4-3-3): Pape Mamadou Sy; Koffi Kouao, Sadibou Sané, Urie-Michel Mboula, Matthieu Udol; Jessy Deminguet, Alpha Touré, Gauthier Hein; Papa Amadou Diallo, Cheikh Sabaly, Morgan Bokele Mputu.

Reims (4-2-3-1): Yehvann Diouf; Aurélio Buta, Cédric Kipré, Joseph Okumu, Hiroki Sekine; Mory Gbane, Amadou Koné; Keito Nakamura, Valentin Atangana Edoa, Junya Ito; Jordan Siebatcheu.

Verdict

Metz struggle to keep clean sheets and are very difficult to beat at home. Reims could be content with a draw here and bet on themselves winning the second leg at home.
