The sky is clearly darkening over FC Metz who seem to be heading straight towards a new relegation to Ligue 2. The promoted side had however made an interesting start to the season but they are now stuck in a very negative spiral. Indeed, Laszlo Bölöni's men have only taken one small point in the league since the end of November and they have just lost 8 times in the last 9 days. And after being able to secure a draw in Marseille 1-1, the Grenats fell back quite heavily last Sunday against Montpellier 3-0. In the ranking, the Mosellans are in 17th position and they are now 5 points behind the jump-off. Olympique Lyonnais, for its part, has been transformed in recent weeks.

After completely missing the start of the year, Les Gones have regained good colors since the arrival of Pierre Sage on the bench at the beginning of December. And the big winter transfer window carried out by the managers allowed their team to maintain this good dynamic. Since their last setback conceded at home against Rennes 2-3, the Rhone residents have scored 3 great victories against Marseille 1-0, Montpellier 1-2 and Nice 1-0, last week, with rather favorable refereeing. Following this good series, the Lyonnais are in 11th position in the ranking with 3 units ahead of the red zone. They are also still in contention in the Coupe de France after taking the measure of Lille in the 1/8 final and they will challenge Strasbourg next week.

The important Jallow (3 goals) and the starting midfielder N'Doram are still unable to be in the squad for this meeting. Coming out injured at the end of the match in Montpellier, striker Lamkel Zé could also forfeit this poster. On departure, the Ivorian Kouao should also remain out of the group. Despite the return of Georgian Georges Mikautadze during the winter transfer window, the Metz offensive sector is at half mast with only 2 goals scored in the league in the last 5 days. No player in the squad has exceeded the mark of 3 goals scored in the league this year. Midfielder Lepenant, piston Henrique, and Croatian defender Lovren risk missing the trip to Saint-Symphorien after having had to forfeit against the Gym.

If the defender frame O'Brien is back from suspension, it will be the turn of Argentinian full-back Tagliafico to serve his this Friday evening. Finally, former world champion Corentin Tolisso is expected to start on the bench for this match anyway. All the winter recruits like Benhrama, Orban, Matic or Mangala will be present and most of them have already established themselves in Pierre Sage's 11. The latter also scored the only goal of the match against the Aiglons. We should also find at the forefront the formidable Alexandre Lacazette who has 11 goals this season.

Tip Reasoning

The recent home record of Metz does not make for pretty reading, with seven defeats in ten top-flight fixtures and a whopping 19 goals conceded across these losses. Lyon, on the other hand, have been punching above their weight this season, and a recent record of four wins from nine trips is not-too-shabby in such a competitive league.
