Stade Saint-Symphorien hosts a Sunday Ligue 1 encounter between FC Metz and FC Lorient. The gulf between these sides is among the most pronounced in French top-flight football this weekend.
Predictions & Tips
Form Guide
Metz
DLLDL
Les Grenats have navigated an extraordinarily difficult campaign, accumulating only 16 points from 32 rounds of fixtures, the worst tally in the division. Their 20-match winless run encompasses the bulk of this campaign and reflects a squad that has found Ligue 1's demands well beyond their resources. They arrive this fixture having conceded a disappointing and league high tally of 72 goals. At Saint-Symphorien, the Lorraine faithful have remained passionate despite the results.
Lorient
DLWLD
Lorient, the promoted Breton club, have had a solid return to Ligue 1. Their 9th-place standing on 42 points from 32 rounds of fixtures reflects a side that has comfortably outperformed expectations. They've quickly responded from their difficult 3-2 loss at home to Strasbourg over the weekend by going all out to secure a stalemate against league leaders Paris Saint-Germain. That result gives them enough motivation heading on the road to face the division's poorest side.
Prediction
Over 1.5 goals is the anticipated outcome with Lorient's attack meeting a Metz side that has been conceding throughout this campaign.
