On Feb 27th, Metz and Nantes will play a match in Longeville-lès-Metz in a meeting of these two Ligue 1 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 2 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, Metz recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Lille. Neither Lille nor Metz could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 12 and 7 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Metz looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while in their last match, 7th placed Nantes, recorded a 3-1 win against Paris Saint Germain. Randal Kolo Muani struck first for Nantes in the 4th minute, then Merlin added another in the 15th minute. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Nantes should be reasonably happy with their performance.
On Sun Aug 15th, Nantes hosted Metz in their last match together. Nantes was victorious by a score of 2 to 0 in front of just over 12000 excited fans. Randal Kolo Muani struck first for Nantes in the 12th minute, then Ludovic Blas added another in the 49th minute on a feed from Moses Simon In the end, Metz was frustrated by Nantes’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Nantes ended the match with the shutout victory.
Ludovic Blas has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the midfielder has scored four goals for Nantes. Ibrahima Niane and Digbo Maiga are the top scorers for Metz in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Manuel Cabit, Sofiane Alakouch, Nicolas de Préville, Matthieu Udol, Kévin N’Doram and Fabien Centonze are unavailable to play for Metz, while Antoine Kombouare’s squad will be without Fábio.
