Reims, Recent FormAn important point secured against Paris Saint-Germain will have left Reims quite happy with their 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with 36% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Paris Saint-Germain managed 19 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Metz, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Clermont Foot in their last league game, Metz will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 34% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Clermont Foot's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager László Bölöni will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. 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've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Georges Mikautadze has scored in each of Metz's last league game.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
It's been a long time since Reims at home has managed to find the back of the Les Grenats net, having failed to score against them in their last 4 encounters at Stade Auguste-Delaune. The last 3 matches between Reims and Les Grenats show that Reims have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
It's been a long time since Metz have lost this fixture, having picked up points against Reims in 9 league games in a row.
With only Maxime Busi (Thigh) and Joseph Okumu (Groin) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Will Still will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
László Bölöni has a number of injury concerns in his Metz squad to contend with: Ablie Jallow (Hamstring), Kévin N'Doram (Thigh) and Ismaël Traoré (Unknown)
