Metz – Lyon: bookmaker odds
Metz had an impressive eight-game unbeaten streak, but last Sunday the Dragons’ flight was interrupted by Brest (2-0), who became second team after PSG since mid-September, which managed to anger the fans of Lorena. The consequences of the injury of the team’s top scorer, Ibrahim Nyan, seem to have overtaken the “grenade”, which failed to translate its superiority in the number of hits into something more tangible in the form of goals.
Frederic Antonetti will have to rethink the problem of finding a productive striker, as only Nyane, long-retired, has scored more than one goal for Metz. This is an unacceptable situation, and in the absence of a solution, the “dragons” will inevitably slide to the bottom of the standings, where many saw them before the start of the season and even after three rounds of starting.
Lyon demonstrates the opposite dynamic, which is also logical. After a slow start, Rudy Garcia’s team improved significantly. A comfortable 3-0 win over Reims last weekend was the third in a row for the Weavers, who haven’t lost any of their last nine games.

“Olympic” is once again among the main contenders for the medals, which is not surprising given the lack of employment in the European Cup, but it is striking that the team is not dragged by Depay, but by a certain Karl Toko Ekambi, who last week scored the fifth goal of the championship with nine hits in the starting eleven. If Memphis and Dembele also activate turbo mode, Lyon’s rivals will not be envied. The other side of the medal cannot fail to make Lyon fans happy: the “weavers” have not conceded in two games in a row, and when you do not concede, one goal is enough to win. It’s simple, right?
Metz – Lyon: indicative alignments
The hosts have enough problems, but above all good news. An important player, Ivorian midfielder Habib Maiga (24), who suffered a hamstring injury in the 25th minute of the game with Nantes (1: 1), returned to service, as did another defensive player, Warren Tshimbembe, who overcame the consequences of a knee injury. … Also, day by day, Kevin N’Doram, who suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in June, will return to the cage.
For his part, Senegalese striker Lamine Gueye, who scored 1 goal, gave 2 assists and obtained a penalty in six games, felt pain during training on Friday and withdrew from the application. Center Vincent Pazho, winger Mathieu Udol (right meniscus operation, six weeks without football) and, of course, forward Ibraim Nyan are not on the list.
Metz Request: Ukija, Kayar – Sentons, Bronn, Boy, Kuyate, Lacroix, Delaine – M. Fofana, Angban, Maiga, Tshibembe, Maziz, P. Sarr, Bulaya – Yade, Leia Iseka, Ngett, Ambrose, Wagner.
The Lyon coaching staff had a nearly complete group at their disposal, including Ussem Auar, who was sanctioned by the club for inappropriate behavior, but has already realized that he was wrong. The player of the French national team will only replace the disqualified Thiago Mendes in the application.
Lyon app: Lopez, Pollersbeck – Bard, Benlamry, Denayer, Marcelo, Dubois, De Chillo, Cornet – Auar, Guimaraes, Cacre, Jean Lucas, Paketa – M. Dembele, Depay, Sherky, Cadevere, Toco Ecambi.
Metz – Lyon: author’s forecast
It seems that we are entitled to expect a fairly comfortable victory for “Lyon”, who are significantly superior in composition and form to their opponents. The guests have a great choice on the attack line, while the hosts have trouble finding an effective forward. This is the fourth consecutive victory for the “weavers”, and if the odds seem small, you can play a “dry” victory: this is the result of the last seven matches of the confrontation in League 1.
