Metz form and stats

With 2 Ligue 1 wins, 7 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, Metz are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A nice win for Metz last time playing, versus Olympique Lyonnais. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Pajot, Boulaya and Zé scoring for the victors. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Antonetti when Boulaya scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute. Defender Kouyaté got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.94/10. Kouyaté won 9 of 13 duels.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Montpellier that finished 2-2.

Metz has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 31 goals have been conceded.

Angers SCO form and stats

There's been little loot from Angers SCO's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 18 away games in the Ligue 1. Angers SCO only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 9 draws.

Angers SCO are travelling after their nice 4-1 home win in the match against Bordeaux (placed 20th). Lage was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.21. The defender Lage scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 4 of 12 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Monaco wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Angers SCO have scored 21 goals in 18 league games away. In the opposite end, Angers have conceded 31 goals in their away games.
