In the aftermath of a 5-1 away mauling at the hands of Rennes, the Metz team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team.  They achieved 30% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Rennes' tally of 29 efforts at goal, 14 of which were on target.  

Manager László Bölöni will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period.  Their goal scoring streak now stands at 15 games in a row.  

Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.  

Youssef Maziz will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Metz.

Having secured a 2-1 home win against Reims in their latest league match, Marseille will have a positive feeling ahead of this match.  In that game they had 42% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Reims who had 11 attempts and 4 on target.  

Manager Marcelino García Toral will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.
