Stade Reims

Stade Reims are doing poorly at the moment and they need to win this coming game. They won just 1 game in their last 7 matches and that was against Le Havre over 2 weeks ago. The remaining 6 games ended in 3 draws and 3 defeats.

Stade Reims played against Paris Saint Germain last weekend and the game ended in a 2-2 draw at the end. Marshall Munetsi put Reims ahead in the 7th minute, but they conceded 2 goals in the 17th and 19th minutes. And at the brink of halftime, Oumar Diakité scored the equalizer and the score remained that way throughout the second half until the end. 

Despite being second best in the game against PSG, Stade Reims should feel proud of their efforts and the fans hope they can build on that result in the coming game against Metz FC.

Metz FC

Metz FC have won their last 2 games in a row which is a huge relief for the team after such a poor run. Prior to both wins, they were winless in 10 Ligue 1 games.

Metz FC played against Clermont Foot last weekend and they won by a 1-0 scoreline. Georges Milkautadze scored the only goal from the penalty spot in the 33rd minute to give Metz FC all 3 points at the end. However, Metz FC were second best according to the stats of the match. They managed only 34% possession, 2 shots on target and 5 corner kicks. They had 1 big chance and lost that chance.

Metz FC are looking confident ahead of this one and they might try to win it.
