Lyon, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Clermont Foot will not have sat easily with the Lyon squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 63% possession and managed 25 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Clermont Foot who had 12 attempts and 5 on target.
Despite scoring 5 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 12 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
A win for Lyon is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 10 games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Groupama Stadium, Alexandre Lacazette will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Metz, Recent FormA point gained from their 0-0 draw against Havre AC in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Metz. They came away from that fixture with a 41% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Havre AC, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Metz sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 3-2.
In each of the previous 4 matches against Les Grenats, Lyon have let in at least one goal.
In their last 3 league meetings, Lyon have failed to record a victory against Metz.
With no real injury worries, Lyon manager Fabio Grosso will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
László Bölöni has a number of injury concerns in his Metz squad to contend with: Óscar Estupiñán (Hamstring), Habib Maïga (Calf) and Kévin N'Doram (Calf)
