Season ticket holders at Stade de la Meinau haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Strasbourg languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Metz will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Strasbourg have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
- Metz has the most matches under the total-line (9) in Ligue 1
Strasbourg and Metz should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Strasbourg form and stats
Strasbourg's results here at Stade de la Meinau in the Ligue 1 have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
Strasbourg are returning here after visiting Nantes in a Ligue 1 game and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. Dimitri Liénard, Habib Diallo, Ludovic Ajorque and Kevin Zohi scored the goal(s). Before that, Strasbourg drew at home versus Rennes.
As mentioned above, Strasbourg "killed" Nantes in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The manager T. Laurey will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Angers SCO in only three days.
Strasbourg have scored 4 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Strasbourg defense is not exactly impregnable. 10 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Metz form and stats
Metz have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 1-3-2 (6 played).
Metz might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Olympique Lyonnais proved too strong as Metz slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Saint-Symphorien. A 0-2 loss hosting Brest before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Metz manager V. Hognon as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Montpellier.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Metz as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Metz as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: zero - four - six (Strasbourg wins - draws - Metz wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
