Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Metz in 10th and Bordeaux in 13th place.
- Metz has the fewest matches over the total-line (5) in Ligue 1
- Bordeaux have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
It's quite the trip for Bordeaux when visiting Metz as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
Metz form and stats
4 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Metz have to build on here at Stade Saint-Symphorien in the Ligue 1.
Metz are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Rennes. Before that, Metz had a home game versus Lens which ended with a victory 2-0.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Nice are coming to town in three days.
Metz are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. Metz have conceded 9 in these home matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Bordeaux form and stats
Playing away, Bordeaux have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 4 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season.
Bordeaux might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Reims proved too strong as Bordeaux slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Matmut-Atlantique. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Strasbourg at their stadium, the result 2-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Bordeaux are hosting Lorient in the Ligue 1 only three days away.
Bordeaux find the net regularly in their away games. 10 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Bordeaux's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's one Metz victory, two draws and seven Bordeaux wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
