On Sunday, starting with 20:00, the Metz – Lyon match will be played, within the 13th round of Ligue 1. Lyon has won in the previous 7 direct matches, without conceding a goal. Last season, Lyon won 2-0 with both Metz.
Metz announced 7 unavailable for Sunday’s game and only two teams have a weaker attack (12 goals) in the first 12 stages. The team coached by Frederic Antonetti obtained 16 points, at a goal difference of 12-11 and occupies the 12th place in the Ligue 1 standings. The low strength in the offensive is also seen in the home matches, where Metz scored 8 times, but however, he managed 3 victories, a draw and two defeats. For the “browns” there will be a duel with Lyon, an opponent against whom he has not scored since 2014.
Lyon has only one defeat in the first 12 stages of Ligue 1, ticked 23 points, just like Lille, Monaco and Montpellier, and the distance from the leader Paris Saint-Germain is only two points. Rudi Garcia’s students take advantage of the fact that they are not involved in European competitions and can fight a healthy fight for internal trophies. Thus, Lyon has 3 consecutive victories in Ligue 1 and has not given up since the first stage, a defeat with Montpellier. Despite the excellent course, the guests still have only two victories in the 6 trips of the season, but with Metz they can take advantage of a superb record.
