Manager Paulo Fonseca will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 7 goals. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches, and they've scored in 12 of their 13 games this season.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Metz, Recent FormMetz will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-2 away win against Lorient. They achieved 32% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Lorient's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 5 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 8 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 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of form for Metz recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Ablie Jallow has scored in each of Metz's last league game away from home.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at The Decathlon Arena, Les Grenats have been unable to break through the Lille defence and find the back of the net. Les Dogues have struggled for goals when Metz comes to visit The Decathlon Arena, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
It has been a share of the points the last 2 times these sides have met in the league, with the game ending in a draw on both occasions; that said, Lille may be feeling slightly more positive, having built up a run of 7 matches undefeated against their opponents.
Lille manager Paulo Fonseca has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Bafodé Diakité (Foot), Tiago Djaló (Cruciate ligament) and Ismaily Gonçalves dos Santos (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
