Metz, Recent FormMetz will not be too troubled by their 3-1 away defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, given the latter currently sit 13 places further up the league table than they do. During that encounter they had 25% possession and had 3 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 13 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 5 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
Metz will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
When home matches come round at Stade Saint-Symphorien, Georges Mikautadze will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Metz's last 6 home league matches.
Toulouse, Recent FormLosing 2-1 home to Monaco won't leave the Toulouse squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 13 places above them in the league. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Monaco had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Carles Martínez Novell where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 8 in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
A win for Toulouse is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 10 games.
Zakaria Aboukhlal will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Toulouse.
Metz will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Toulouse, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat.
In each of their last 8 games away from home in the league to Metz, Le Téfécé have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Stade Saint-Symphorien in the league, but Metz will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings there.
There is only really one injury concern for the Metz manager László Bölöni ahead of this clash, with Óscar Estupiñán (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Bölöni a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Carles Martínez Novell has a number of injury concerns in his Toulouse squad to contend with: Zakaria Aboukhlal (Knee), Mikkel Desler (Calf) and Niklas Schmidt (Physical discomfort)
