Marseille – Metz : Preview & Prediction
Olympique de Marseille has the opportunity to end a rich week … The Marseille club, victorious in Clermont (1-0) last Sunday, has just shared the points with Lazio Rome (2-2) at the Vélodrome this Thursday in the Europa League. A draw synonymous with defeat for the band at Payet which largely dominated this meeting (63% possession, 21 shots, 4 on target) but which is still in the race for qualification. Sampaoli’s men have not lost since October 3, a month, and are on a long series of 6 games without defeat. Third to 1 point from Nice, 2nd, but with only 1 point ahead of Lens, 4th, the Marseille club must win over the 19th to settle on the podium. The Lorraine club, relegated, is 4 points behind Reims and must react quickly or see the gap fly away. The Garnets have won only 1 game after 12 days and they have only taken 1 point in the last 4 days obtained in front of St Etienne (1-1) last weekend. Outside, the Messins have just failed in quick succession in Angers (3-2) and Lens (4-1) and could achieve the pass of three at the Vélodrome.
OM come out of a draw against Lazio Rome (2-2) this Thursday in C3.
The Marseille club have been undefeated for 6 meetings in all competitions.
FC Metz has not won for 4 days (1 draw and 3 losses).
Metz’s last victory over Marseille dates back to February 2017.
Garnets are 19th overall.
The Olympique de Marseille should find the necessary energy to defeat the poorly classified Metz and consolidate his place on the podium in this Ligue 1.
