With predictions hinting at a possible upset, the encounter at Stade Saint-Symphorien promises to be a riveting affair, as Metz aims to defy the odds and secure crucial points in their fight for survival.
Key Players
For Metz, the spotlight will be on their attacking talisman, Joel Joshoghene Asoro. With a rating of 6.66, Asoro's ability to find the back of the net and his contribution of 2 goals this season could be pivotal. In midfield, Arthur Atta has shown his worth with a rating of 6.68, and his passing accuracy will be crucial in controlling the game's tempo. The defense will rely on Kévin Daniel Guitoun Van Den Kerkhof, whose rating of 6.69 and 2 assists from the backline illustrate his dual threat.Lens, on the other hand, boasts the midfield maestro Adrien Thomasson with a rating of 6.74. Thomasson's vision and 18 key passes have been instrumental in Lens' push for European qualification. The defensive solidity comes in the form of Deiver Andrés Machado Mena, who not only has a rating of 6.83 but also contributes offensively with 3 goals. Upfront, Morgan Bono Guilavogui has been a consistent threat with his 6.84 rating and 2 goals to his name.
Recent Form
Metz's form has been a mixed bag, with their last five outings resulting in two wins and three losses. The home side's struggle for consistency is evident, but their recent victories show a glimmer of hope. Lens, mirroring their opponents, has had a similar run of form with two wins and three losses, indicating vulnerability that Metz could exploit.Head-to-Head History
The previous encounter between these two sides on September 16, 2023, saw Metz emerge victorious with a narrow 1-0 win at Lens' home ground. This result will surely be on the minds of both teams as they prepare for the upcoming match.Prediction
The predictions are in favor of a Metz win or draw, with a 'double chance' recommendation. Despite being the underdogs, Metz holds a home advantage and a psychological edge from their last meeting. The statistics lean slightly towards Lens, but the match is expected to be tightly contested, with both teams having a 50% form rating.The key battle will likely be in the midfield, where Atta's distribution for Metz could clash with Thomasson's creativity for Lens. Defensively, both Van Den Kerkhof and Machado Mena will be tasked with keeping the opposition at bay while also contributing to their team's attacking plays.
Taking into account the recent form, head-to-head history, and individual talents, the final prediction is a resilient performance from Metz, leading to a scoreline that favors them or ends in a stalemate. The advice to consider is a double chance: Metz or draw, which reflects the close nature of this encounter and the potential for an unexpected outcome. With both teams eager to secure points for their respective causes, this match is set to be an enthralling spectacle in the heart of Ligue 1.
