Team News

Lille
Metz
  • Benjamin André is back from suspension and will start in midfield.
  • Gabriel Gudmundsson will keep his place at left-back as Ismaily remains a doubt, not having played on Thursday.
  • Yusuf Yazici was on the scoresheet again in the week and could push Jonathan David for a place in attack.
  • Off the back of two straight wins, don't expect any unenforced changes for Les Grenats.
  • Habib Maïga is fit again, having come off the bench last weekend, and could be an option in midfield.
  • Defenders Christophe Hérelle and Maxime Colin remain doubts. Neither had been an option against Lorient on Sunday.

Prediction

  • Metz have sparked to life of late, scoring six goals and notching two wins in their last two league matches, making this a far more difficult proposition than this match might have looked three weeks ago.
  • That said, Lille rotated to some degree in the week, and will approach this match with the necessary rigour and an eye towards climbing the table.
