Marseille, Recent FormThe Marseille players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Lyon recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 63%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Lyon, who had 12 shots on goal with 7 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Gennaro Gattuso will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 10 games.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Olympiens, although undefeated in their last 10 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Marseille, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Metz, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Metz players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Lorient. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Lorient's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager László Bölöni 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 9 in the same period. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Les Grenats, having gone without a win in their last 7 league games and lost the last 7 in a row.
Georges Mikautadze is the man of the moment at Metz right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Playing at home, Marseille have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Metz.
When playing away from home in the league, Metz have failed to win any of their last 7 meetings with Marseille, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
With only Amir Murillo (Muscle) and Valentin Rongier (Knee surgery) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gennaro Gattuso will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Metz manager László Bölöni has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
