Venue: Stade Saint-Symphorien (25636 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 1, Metz holding 16th place and Toulouse lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Metz and Toulouse.

Toulouse have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Metz form and stats

Three Ligue 1 home games done for Metz, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. Metz are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stade Saint-Symphorien, having lost their two previous games here.

Metz are returning here after visiting Saint-Étienne in a Ligue 1 game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Amiens SC (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Metz perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Metz as a small favourite), we find four games. Metz has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 0.

The Metz fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Metz have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Toulouse form and stats

0-2-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Toulouse in their Ligue 1 matches away.

The manager A. Casanova was unhappy after their last game, a Ligue 1 match played at their home ground Stade Saint-Symphorien. Toulouse suffered a 0-2 loss to Angers SCO (placed 2nd). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Nîmes's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Toulouse playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were 1 Toulouse win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

The attacking power of Toulouse when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Toulouse have conceded 8 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Metz won 2, Toulouse won 3 and 5 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 7 matches with two goals or less.
