Clermont Foot, Recent FormClermont Foot will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Reims, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. During that encounter they had 54% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 8 shots on goal.
Pascal Gastien will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 11 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had an excellent run of form at Stade Gabriel-Montpied recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
With 6 league goals in 6 games at home in Stade Gabriel-Montpied, Grejohn Kyei will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Metz, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Marseille will be viewed as a positive outcome for Metz and a valuable point into the bargain. In that game they had 43% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Marseille who had 22 attempts and 5 on target.
When it comes to attacking power László Bölöni will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 16 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games away from home.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Georges Mikautadze will be looking to cause Clermont Foot some problems having scored 5 goals in Metz's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Les Grenats will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Clermont. Les Lanciers have struggled to keep Metz at bay when these two teams have met at Stade Gabriel-Montpied, during the last 3 times they have hosted Metz in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Metz will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 3 games.
With only Maximiliano Caufriez (Ankle) and Elbasan Rashani (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pascal Gastien will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Ablie Jallow (Knee) and Matthieu Udol (Illness) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, László Bölöni will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
