Lens – Metz : Preview & Prediction
This Saturday, on the pitch of the Stade Bollaert (15:00), Lens receive the leaders of the championship, with the ambition to stay in the race for the qualifying places for the Playoffs of accession at the end of the season.
Winners of Béziers Monday night, on the final score of 3-0 (Gillet, Gomis, Bencharki), the men of Philippe Montanier confirmed that they will not drop anything for a hypothetical rise at the end of the season, and that It will be necessary to take the big game to take points in the Artois by the end of the exercise. Eliminated from the Coupe de France by Orleans on Tuesday (0-1), the Messins know what awaits them, and will perform a performance of high-flying if they want to win the victory.
First in the standings for quite some time, Habib Diallo and company seem however able to do it, and that is what makes this meeting at the top very difficult to predict. Given the lensoise shape at home, the 1N will certainly be the best option for you …
Lens remains a great success against Beziers on his lawn (3-0).
For their last match in Bollaert, the Lensois had already beaten Nancy (2-1).
Lens have lost just one of their last 5 home games. Only 2 out of his last 16 in Ligue 2.
Metz lost to Orleans in the Coupe de France on Tuesday (0-1). Elimination + Accumulated fatigue = very bad operation.
Messins have won only one of their last 4 league games.
The last Lens-Metz in the Pas de Calais ended in a Lensois success in the Coupe de la Ligue (1-1, win at the TAB). It was late last August.
If FC Metz serves as a reference this season in Ligue 2, the Lensois seem this time able to compete on their lawn Bollaert. In form and pushed by a boosted public, the champions of France 1998 should take at least one point and hang the Messins. Double chance “Lens or Null” for our specialists in L2 predictions.
