Metz have rested following their 1-2-fixture versus Monaco and are ready to face Bordeaux. Here's all the facts!
- Bordeaux have the most conceded goals (70) in Ligue 1
- Metz have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
These teams have little in common geographically as Metz have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
This looks to be an exciting match with lots of action and energy as both sides are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Let's go!
Bordeaux form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ligue 1 this season. Bordeaux have only managed 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses from their games here at Stade Matmut-Atlantique. The Bordeaux manager Guion might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Guilavogui was the last player to score a league goal for Bordeaux and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Bordeaux haven't scored in 437 minutes.
Bordeaux drew their last game, 0-0 away at Lille (placed 7th). The goalie Poussin was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.24 out of ten. Poussin topped it up with a clean sheet.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Paris Saint Germain (0-3).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bordeaux have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost three.
The Bordeaux fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 15 matches. More than 50 percent of these goals (10 in total) came after at least 60 minutes had been played. Bordeaux have conceded 29 from these games. Bordeaux has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 3 times.
Metz form and stats
Metz have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 3-5-7 (15 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Metz are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Monaco with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Jemerson, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.04. Jemerson won 12 of 15 duels.
A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Lens.Metz are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, four draws and four defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Metz as they have only managed to score 11 times from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Metz have conceded 27 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The former head-to-head meeting ended Metz - Bordeaux 3-3, earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Bordeaux victories, three draws and one Metz win. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
