Metz drew their last game, 2-2 away at Clermont (placed 3rd). Ibrahima Niane, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.44 (out of 10). Niane scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times. A disappointing finish for Metz in their match versus Clermont as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Reims that ended 1-1.

Metz has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
