CFA Group B: Tipsway are expecting an action-packed and very important scrap involving Metz II and Entente SSG at Stade Dezavelle. Both are in need of a good run!

Insights:
  • Metz II is in the worst form (0-3-3)
  • Entente SSG have the fewest scored goals (9) in CFA Group B

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Metz II form and stats

Metz II have collected 11 points from their CFA Group B home games so far after 3-2-5. When Metz II hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Sainte Geneviève, Schiltigheim, Lens II, Belfort and Metz II), they have won 2 of 3 matches! We have seen two home losses in a row now for Metz II, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Metz travelled for their previous game, a trip to Schiltigheim that ended 1-1.

Ahead of that match, Metz II lost 0-1 at home to Beauvais.

Metz II have scored 9 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Metz's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. Metz II has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Entente SSG form and stats

Entente SSG have only collected 7 points from their away games in the CFA Group B, after 2-1-8 (11 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Entente, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

Bodet was the last player to score for the away team. Entente SSG haven't scored a league goal in the last 236 minutes.

There were no winners in Entente SSG's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs St Maur Lusitanos (placed 3rd).

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Fleury 91's place.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Entente SSG playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, two draws and two home wins.

Goals are few and far between in Entente's away league games. Only 5 goals from 11 travels. As opposed to that, Entente SSG have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
