Currently, FC Metz is just above the red zone with a few points ahead of SC Bastia, 19th of the Ligue 1. So to say that the Lorrainers will play an important card in this race for the maintenance.
The FC Metz could even take a big option on maintaining if successful in front of the Corsicans, as Philippe Hinschberger’s men are 7 legs ahead.
