Team News

Metz
Strasbourg
  • After a gritty win in Lens, don't expect many changes from Les Grenats.
  • Fit-again Ablie Jallow was on the bench last Saturday, and could be an option on the left flank.
  • Joseph N'Duquidi was a surprise starter in midfield; it will be between he and Danley Jean-Jacques to partner Kévin N'Doram.
  • After making changes to start the second half against Montpellier, the eleven here should reflect that which finished that match.
  • Thomas Delaine is a doubt after coming off at the weekend.
  • Dilane Bakwa is also an option in attack.

Prediction

  • Patrick Vieira's side impressed in coming from two goals down to draw against Montpellier and should be eager to build on that display.
  • Metz are a surprising seventh ahead of this match -- while Europe is unlikely to continue to be an option, the hosts look likely to survive more comfortably than last season.
