Nice, Recent FormThe 2-0 away defeat to Rennes will not have sat easily with the Nice squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 57% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Rennes who had 15 attempts and 5 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Francesco Farioli 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 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games and also kept a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 12 games.
On an individual basis, Terem Moffi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Nice's last 6 league games.
Metz, Recent FormThe Metz players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Toulouse recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Toulouse had 4 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 15 of their 18 games played.
Metz will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 5 league games in a row no wins in 5 games.
Georges Mikautadze will be hoping to create problems for Nice in this one, having scored 6 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Metz.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Nice produced a comfortable 0-1 victory.
Nice have managed to keep a clean sheet against Les Grenats in each of their previous 2 meetings. In each of their last 4 games away from home in the league to Nice, Les Grenats have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run.
Nice has won the last 2 games they've played against Metz in the league.
Nice manager Francesco Farioli has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sofiane Diop (Broken toe), Romain Perraud (Thigh) and Khéphren Thuram (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
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.
