The 23rd day of the Ligue 1 de Fracia opens at the Stade Velodrome, when Olympique Marseille receives the visit of Metz with the aim of adding a victory that will allow him to continue in the fight for the second place in the standings.

The run by Rudi Garcia could not take advantage of their home condition last weekend and did not go from the draw to two goals against AS Monaco and thus shares the second place with Olympique Lyon but for goal difference is third and the ultimate goal is to stay with the second place in order to qualify directly to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

The truth is that the fans are happy with the actions of a team that in recent years gave pain in the football of France.

With the draw against Monaco, the team added a seven-game losing streak where six of them were victories and before the tournament squad are willing to keep that good run especially at home where they come from a streak of twelve games without losing taking as reference all the competences.

On the other hand, those led by Frederic Hantz are the current Ligue 1 team with 18 points and seven points of salvation.

The players have understood that to maintain the category there is no other than to go out for all and this has been demonstrated in their last seven games of Ligue 1 where they have only fallen on one occasion and were against one of the powerful teams in France as It is Monaco, where also four of them were triumphs.

Of course, despite this good recovery of the team, they have much to improve when they have to play away from home especially when they visit Top 5 teams in France because they have lost against teams like Lyon, Monaco and Nice and against Marseille. We believe it will be more of the same.

PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.43
